Velars sur ouche

Velars-sur-Ouche is a village in the Côte-d'Or department, around ten kilometres north-west of Dijon, set in a green landscape crossed by the River Ouche and bordered by the gentle hills of the Châtillonnais area. The village offers a peaceful setting, ideal for walks along the valley, amid meadows, woodland and quiet country lanes popular with walkers and cyclists. Its proximity to the Burgundy Canal, which runs alongside the Ouche valley, makes it a pleasant starting point for walking or cycling routes, including towards Dijon or the Morvan region.

Its location makes it easy to explore Dijon, a UNESCO World Heritage city renowned for its historic centre, as well as the Côte de Nuits vineyards, famous for their prestigious wines. Velars-sur-Ouche appeals to visitors seeking peace and quiet, nature, and a convenient base from which to discover the Dijon area and its surrounding wine country.
