Tips from the Community
In place of an old gate in the 12th-century city wall, the architect Jean-Philippe Maret had this monument built between 1786 and 1788 in homage to the Prince of Condé, governor of Burgundy. The building was then named Porte Condé. The monument was connected by walls to the ramparts that still existed, and its gate was closed by a gate, traces of which can still be seen. During the Revolution in 1791, the gate was named the Arc de la Liberté; in the 19th century, it became Porte Guillaume, in reference to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Bénigne.

The first chapel was built here in the 15th century and was the destination of many pilgrims, some of them famous. It was destroyed during the French Revolution. The current chapel was built between 1877 and 1896 and had to be renovated several times due to weather conditions, most recently in 2020.

The spring is beautifully arranged and decorated (at least during Easter). There's also a small seating area where you can rest after the climb.

Formerly Place Royale, then Place d'Armes, Place de la Libération is a must-see in the city of Dijon. Located in its heart, just above the town hall stands the Philippe le Bon tower. Beautiful illuminations in the evening, and, in the summer, a few fountains and numerous terraces for dining or enjoying a drink.

Chapel restored in 2020, the interior of which can be visited between May 1st and Heritage Day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., including Sundays and public holidays. Splendid golden statue that looks a bit like that of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille. Beautiful view of the Ouche valley. A few benches and picnic tables, allow a little less than an hour to climb from Velars-sur-Ouche (preferably, take the winding paths rather than the steep shortcuts)

Stopover point before arriving at Notre Dame d’Etang. Allow approximately 30/40 minutes before reaching the Source Sainte-Anne from the village of Velars-sur-Ouche
