Bourgogne - 1

ROC-1 was first published in 2014, but only covered 50 cliffs found in the 4 departments of Bourgogne (Burgundy).

This second edition has been re-designed with a new format that is used in ROC-2 (2018).

This keeps to the 320 pages and same physical A5 size, but manages to now include all the departments of the Auvergne, and a whole selection of cliffs in central southern France.

Over 350 cliffs were visited, and eventually 250 were selected for inclusion.

The book is spilt into 6 major areas:Area 1 - Fontainebleau: 30 areas are presented, so you can get to the parking and find the circuits.
