A communal forest, a dense network of hedgerows of varying character and a range of aquatic habitats shape the landscape of Longecourt-lès-Culêtre. Behind the continuous built-up area are gardens, orchards, meadows and cultivated land. A 15.5-kilometre route runs from the tourist office in Arnay-le-Duc via the D17C to Longecourt-lès-Culêtre. The local perspective thus brings together natural surroundings, the character of the village, a named route and local produce.
Forest, hedgerows and aquatic habitats
The Forêt communale de Longecourt-Lès-Culetre covers 15 hectares. The commune also has a dense network of hedgerows of varying character, which provides a refuge for flora and fauna. The hedgerows are therefore a distinct feature of the natural environment alongside the communal forest.
The natural environment includes streams and ditches, as well as wetlands, marshland, ponds and pools. These aquatic habitats provide a home for amphibians and distinctive flora. Their roles complement one another: hedgerows provide a refuge for flora and fauna, while amphibians and distinctive plant life are central to the aquatic areas.
