Starting from
/ pers. (based on 2 pers.)
Arrival in Beaune, a lovely town in the heart of the vineyards.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Burgundy with a visit to the Hospices de Beaune. Or, for children (and adults too!) take a fun tour of the Fallot mustard factory.
After breakfast, you will start to bike through the vines on a cycle path roaming through wine producing villages such as Pommard, Volnay, Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet. You will have plenty of opportunities for wine tasting on the way to Santenay. Then, you will ride on the cycle path along the canal before joining your destination located on the Côte Chalonnaise.
After breakfast, you will cycle on small country roads to join another cycle path along the “Canal du Centre” which you will follow to Chagny, passing near Rully, a wine village close to Chalon sur Saône. Dracy-le-Fort is a small village on the edge of the Côte Chalonnaise vineyards. You will spend the night in a 3* hotel with pool.
In the morning, you will cycle to the “Voie Verte” cycle path in Givry (a wine village reputedly producing Henry IV’s favorite red wine). This path has been built on a former railway, and was the first cycle path in France. You will appreciate the charming roman architecture in Buxy, St Gengoux-le-National, or Malais. You will arrive in Cormatin, the perfect place for lunch and a visit of the chateau before continuing on to Cluny. The abbey of Cluny and the stud farm are a must for a visit.
After breakfast, you will continue on the same cycle path to Mâcon. The landscape gradually becomes hillier, even if you are biking on an easy cycle path. On your way, the Château de Berzé-le-Châtel is a romantic place to visit and the view it offers merits a detour even for a short visit. You will also be able to cross the longest European tunnel open for cyclists and keep on biking through the Val Lamartien, with magnificent views of the Solutré rock.
After breakfast, you have the possibility of either returning to Beaune by train or taking a high speed train (TGV) from Mâcon to Paris.
