Discover Marey-Lès-Fussey

Marey-Lès-Fussey combines truffle-related culinary offerings with a hilly landscape shaped by agriculture, winegrowing and woodland. Architectural and cultural history are also part of the village’s character. If you are looking for hotels in Marey-Lès-Fussey, it helps to consider which of these features you want to shape your stay.

Truffle experiences in Marey-Lès-Fussey

One specific culinary destination is the Maison aux Mille Truffes in Marey-Lès-Fussey. It is a starting point for the Route de la Truffe in the Côte-d’Or. In its park, the Maison offers a demonstration of truffle hunting, known as cavage, with Nicolas and Taïga.

Visitors also receive explanations about truffles and their surroundings and can then take part in a truffle tasting or a “Tout à la Truffe” lunch. The Maison’s boutique sells, among other things, Ratatruffe, mustard with Burgundy truffles, and persillé with Burgundy truffles, known as “Truffillé.” The selection may change; if you are looking for a specific product, check the current selection before your visit.

The sequence is useful for planning: a culinary activity can follow the explanations, while the park demonstration offers a separate focus on truffle hunting.

Landscape and routes

The municipal area of Marey-Lès-Fussey is a mosaic of agricultural, winegrowing and wooded plots. The Lieu-Dieu stream valley is part of the varied, hilly landscape; the village is particularly visible from the southern vineyard slope. Marey-Lès-Fussey is also located in the type 2 ZNIEFF natural area “COTE ET ARRIERE COTE DE DIJON.” The plots describe land use, the valley the terrain, and the vineyard slope the view of the village. The ZNIEFF designation adds a connection to the natural area to this landscape perspective.

For orientation, it is important to distinguish between the long-distance trail and the road. The GR 76 long-distance trail runs along the western edge of the municipal area. The RD 8 crosses Marey-Lès-Fussey from northwest to southeast and provides a quick connection to the wine-growing slopes in the southeast. Thus, the GR 76 describes a route along the edge, while the RD 8 crosses the municipal area and connects it with the wine-growing slopes to the southeast. The two routes therefore answer different travel-planning questions: hiking route and road connection.

Cultural heritage across different periods

The Church of Saint-Barthélémy and Lieu-Dieu Abbey are designated in the PLU approved in 2020 as built features of cultural, historical and architectural interest. The site of Lieu-Dieu Abbey was already inhabited 500 years before our era. Two levels should be distinguished when considering its history: the designation of built features concerns the church and the abbey, while the earlier habitation refers to the abbey site. This means the site’s history goes further back than its documented architectural designation.
