Cycle Burgundy's charming countryside, home to beautiful
chateaux and vast vineyard estates
A stunning cycle journey to experience all of the delights Burgundy has to
offer, from its famous red wines to the cheeses of Epoisses. Architectural
wonders thrive in this region, including the preserved Roman vestiges and
ramparts of Autun, Beaune's infamous 15th century Hospital, Châteauneuf
en Auxois and the UNESCO World Heritage listed village of Vézelay. You follow
canals and rivers through the limestone valleys of the 137,000‑hectare
granite massif of Parc Regional du Morvan. Its network of rivers, hamlets and
limestone escarpments are nestled in thick forests of beech, oak and birch.
Elegant medieval villages, half timbered houses and impressive chateaux
are highlights of your journey ‑ not to mention the pretty vineyards that
conveniently line the route.
