Discover Maligny: vineyards, trails and heritage

Maligny offers several concrete starting points for planning a trip: protected heritage, a church with a long history of construction, named trails and a history of winegrowing. The activities highlight different aspects. The “La rando Malivigne Aventure” trail passes along the park of the Château de Maligny and offers panoramic vineyard views on the climb; the family discovery trail highlights the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption and views of the Chablisien.

Heritage with specific dates

The dovecote at the Château de Maligny has been partially protected as a historic monument since 25 October 1971. The grounds were placed under protection on 20 May 1976. The two dates relate to different aspects of the protection: 1971 applies to the dovecote, 1976 to the grounds. This distinction helps clarify the information about the château.

The construction history of the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption spans the 12th to the 18th century. The family discovery trail highlights the church; walkers are also guided to it at the start of the “La rando Malivigne Aventure” hike. The church therefore features in two different contexts: as the subject of the family trail and as an early landmark on the hike. The church’s dating thus covers several centuries, not just a single period of construction.

A hike between the park and the vineyards

The “La rando Malivigne Aventure” hike is marked with pink trail markers and carries the FamilYonne label. It passes along the park of the Château de Maligny. Panoramic vineyard views open up along the climb. The markers, the route alongside the park and the views describe different features of the same hike: its markings, its course by the park and the landscape seen on the climb.

Church and family activities

The family discovery trail offers panoramic views of the Chablisien and puts the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption at its heart. Its perspective differs from that of the Malivigne hike, whose described landscape feature is the vineyards seen on the climb. There is also the year-round family activity “Découvre un village de l’Yonne en t’amusant” for children aged 3 to 12. The trail and the activity are therefore two different offerings: the church and panorama take centre stage in one, while the age range and year-round availability are explicitly specified for the other.

Winegrowing and visitor experiences

The Domaine Vocoret Yvon et Laurent’s family history in winegrowing dates back to 1696. The Domaine des Chaumes – Romain Poullet in Maligny welcomes the public to a wine cellar restored in 2019. These details highlight different aspects: one looks back at the family history of winegrowing, while the other describes a specific visitor experience in a restored cellar.
