An IGN map for exploring the Côte-d’Or

The IGN TOP100 Côte-d’Or map is ideal for planning a trip to the heart of Burgundy. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire department, making it easier to plan travel between historic towns, vineyards, villages, forests, and valleys.

With its 1:100,000 scale, it offers a clear sense of distances. This helps in planning itineraries, identifying back roads, and linking multiple sites within a single day.

It is suitable for a stay around Dijon, a getaway to Beaune, a tour of the vineyards, or a nature-focused trip to the Auxois, Châtillonnais, or Morvan (Côte-d’Or section) regions.

Hiking, cycling, and Burgundian heritage

The Côte-d’Or is best explored on foot or by bike. With its valleys, limestone plateaus, vineyards, forests, canals, and character-filled villages, there are countless outing options.

For hikers, this map helps identify major hiking areas, GR® long-distance trails, and paths crossing the department. It assists in choosing an area, planning access points, and organizing a walking schedule. However, for precise on-the-ground trail navigation, a local IGN TOP25 map remains more suitable.

It is also highly useful for cyclists. It allows you to visualize minor roads, cycling routes, valleys, and connections between towns, villages, and tourist sites. It serves as an excellent tool for planning a day trip, a loop tour in Burgundy, or a cycling holiday.
