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 Combottes : At Ladoix-Serrigny, this large plot lies in the continuation of the Combe des Buis valley which explains its hilly landscape. Its name is a diminutive of Combe (comb or valley)
