Meursault: a beautiful wine-growing village, the town hall and its Burgundian rooftops are not to be missed. Fun fact: scenes from The Great Stroll were filmed in Meursault.

Now it’s off to Beaune or the vineyards!

Small wine village along the route

South of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet shares with Puligny part of the production of the best white wines in the world, fantastic bike ride in the vineyards of Chassagne - Montrachet.

In the small village of Meursault in Burgundy there is a particularly fascinating church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. This building is characterized by its architecture, which combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, thus reflecting centuries of history and art. Originally, Romanesque chapels stood on its site, but over the centuries it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, giving it the appearance we see today. One of the most significant events was its renovation in the Gothic style in the late 15th century under the leadership of the abbots of the Abbey of Cluny. Its imposing 57-meter-high stone bell tower, decorated with elegant pinnacles and housing three ancient bells, stands out. In the 19th century, the addition of three naves transformed the building into a real basilica. Inside there is a Mutin & Cavaille-Coll organ from 1927, which embellishes the structure with its melodies. A work that combines stories of devotion and art, a centuries-old witness to change and continuity.

Perfect spot for a stop in a picturesque village. Public self-cleaning toilet right nearby.

First interesting view from the direction of Chalon-sur-Saône

It is always pleasant to ride among the vineyards. And on small, quiet roads like this one, the pleasure is always greater.
