Highlight • Natural

From Dijon to Santenay and Chalon, where it joins the Canal du Centre (EuroVelo 6), this unique route takes us into the heart of the prestigious Burgundy vineyards. The villages along the way boast names that would make any wine lover envious: Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée. This cycling route, partly temporary, follows quiet roads and is signposted from Beaune to Santenay and Chalon. Ideal for a two- to three-day trip, including breaks.

Clos de Vougeot Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château du Clos de Vougeot or Château du Clos Vougeot is a 12th and 16th century castle, in the Cistercian and Renaissance art style, in the vineyards of Burgundy, in the middle of the prestigious Clos-Vougeot in Vougeot, on the Grands Crus road linking Dijon and Beaune in Vougeot (Côte-d'Or, Burgundy-Franche-Comté). The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1949, and is open to visitors for its wine museum. Classified as a Remarkable Site of Taste, it is a Burgundian mecca for events, and for the promotion of traditional Burgundian gastronomy and Burgundy wines by the brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin. In 2006, the Climats of Burgundy were included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Route des Grands Crus Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Route des Grands Crus (roughly, "road of the great wines") is the name of a French tourist route situated in Burgundy. The approximately 60-kilometre route runs along the foot of the Côte d'Or escarpment, from Dijon in the north to Santenay in the south. Thus it passes through many of the great appellations of Burgundy wine, hence the name of the route. It takes the visitor through the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune and the back hills (Hautes-Côtes) behind and above the wine slopes. It is punctuated by 33 villages or little towns, including Beaune, many of which have picturesque churches. For route details see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_des_Grands_Crus

Our private accommodation for the previous night with Sylvie and Jean-Yves was simple, but the hosts were all the more welcoming. They offered us a bottle of rosé with the dinner we had brought with us. Today's tour was dominated by constant rain. Apparently Saint Peter, who is responsible for this, is extremely incontinent after 2000 years - where else …
