Hikes and walks
The path to Santiago de Compostela via Vézelay (GR® 654) and the Grande Randonnée trail from Gâtinais to Morvan (GR® 13) cross the village de Cravant and pass 50m from the accommodation, rue de la Poterne and rue d'Orléans, along the town hall.
The Nivernais Canal is 750m from the accommodation, 10 minutes on foot.
The voie verte, a cycle route most often using the towpath of the Nivernais canal, allows you to reach Cravant from Auxerre in the north and Decize in the south. It is part of the Burgundy Bike Tour.
Vitis Vinifera is ideally located to stop for one or more nights during one of your hikes or walks through the Yonne landscapes.

Walk or bike ride in the vineyards
Irancy, the vineyard closest to the accommodation, is home to beautiful winegrowers' houses and the birthplace of the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot. An orientation table is located at a place called “Le Poteau” which overlooks the town and its vineyard. The village is surrounded by vineyards and cherry orchards, some of which are in the Cravant sector.
Saint Bris le Vineux is based on extraordinary medieval cellars and on its territory are the old quarries of Bailly, which have now become 3.5 ha of cellars at 60 meters underground. Exceptional panorama from the “Douzein” wood orientation table.
Coulanges la Vineuse, on the left bank of the Yonne, is a wine-growing village with an underground network of cellars. The Gallo-Roman site of Escolives-Sainte-Camille bears witness to the presence of wine at this time in our region.
