The remarkable flora is typical of the Combe Lavaux, where southern submediterranian plants meet prealpine and continental vegitation of the north.

Animal life is also diverse, ranging from more common species, such as the roe deer, to the rare perigine falcon that nests in the Combe Lavaux.

The Sentier du Tacot is a new path, also accessible to bikes, which follows 30 km of former railway restored by the municipality of Gevrey-Chambertin.
