Etymology

– Les Chaillots : At Ladoix-Serrigny, the chailles (stony lands) represent the major part of this lieu-dit which is situated on the alluvial cone of the Combe des Buis valley.
– Les Chagnots : Chagnot, the Burgundian diminutive of Châgne from the Old French noun Chasne “oak”, can be found in two neighbouring lieux-dits at Ladoix-Serrigny: Les Chagnots and Clos des Chagnots, bordering the D974 Dijon to Beaune road that goes through the village. Indeed, these were places where oak trees were plentiful.
– Les Vris : At Ladoix-Serrigny, the plots called Les Vris or Sur les Vris are very close to the quarries that have been filled in on the lieux-dits Les Briquottes and Les Lièvrières, near some 10 to 15 metre-high cliffs. These were ancient quarries from where laves (flat stones) were extracted. “Vris” comes from “Lièvrières” or “Lévrières”. These words have been truncated – we don’t know why – and only the syllable “Vri(s)” has been retained, preceded by the definite article Les.
