Charming village northwest of Dijon, about fifteen kilometres from Is-sur-Tille.
The cultivation and processing of hemp has been documented here since 1500. In Champignolle, the old production and processing site, 3 km outside the village, has been restored and developed (washhouse, spinning wheels, picnic area, car park, landscaped path). Within the village, the oratory and the neo-Gothic church are worth a visit.
The oratory dedicated to the God of Pity is located to the left of the entrance porch of the church, in the greenery. It was erected in 1787 at the request of a notable of the village, Marie Nicolas Amable Chaignet. The ceiling of the niche is decorated with a large scallop shell in reference to the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela which passes through the village.
Notre-Dame Church. Rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, the present church is in the neo-Gothic style. Although it has preserved some older furniture, most of it and the stone and wood carvings date from the 19th century (by the Burgundian sculptor Jules Schanoski).
For walkers, the old bread oven, which has been restored, offers a possibility of shelter. The village is crossed by the GR7, which is also the route to Santiago de Compostela. There is also a walking trail "des sources" (about 10 km) and the "puits de Bois" which gave Poiseul its name (500 m outside the current town).
