Votre randonnée à vélo
In a few days, we suggest you to discover Burgundy, out of the beatten tracks. You will follow the ‘green way’ through the amazing vineyards of the ‘Côte de Nuits’. Then, you will enter in the green Burgundy and follow the Ouche’s valley to go back to Dijon.
Day 1 : Arrival in Dijon
Walk around the city of Dijon! You will be surprised by the heritage variety: the medieval streets, the mansion houses, some of them with glazed tiles roof, timber framed houses, and Haussmanian boulevards.
Day 2 : Dijon – Beaune | 49 km
Follow the green way to explore the famous ‘Côte de Nuits’ vineyards: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos Vougeot… Stop when you wish for a visit or a wine tasting!
Bénédicte Manière – Clos de Vougeot
Visit the castle of le Clos du Vougeot (cloister, the former fermenting room, cellars, inside rooms, Benaton’s carrier). You will discover the castle thanks to a new system of touch-sensitive screens set all over the area. They give all the necessary information to understand this amazing place.
Moutarderie Fallot
Follow the ‘decouvertes tour’ and the playful and interactive scenography of the mustard’ history; we propose to watch short movies, to make your own mustard, and to taste some ‘amuse-bouches’ and mustards. You will know everything about the last independent mustard factory in Burgundy.
Keep riding along the green way though the amazing “Côte de Beaune” vineyards and the typical villages of Burgundy: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard. The itinerary leads you to the castle of La Rochepot, famous for its glazed tiles roofs. Follow your way along countryside roads to Beaune.
Day 3 : Beaune – Châteauneuf | 35 km
Leave Beaune on the bike path to Savigny-les-Beaune and its castle. Enter in the nice Burgundy countryside; on each part of the itinerary you will be surrounded by small hills scattered by typical villages. Join Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, picturesque old village perched on high, protected by its chateau dating back to the 12th and 15th centuries!

You will visit the donjon, the Philippe Pot manor, the Main building, the chapel, the south tour… and will discover its amazing history through the ages.
Day 4 : Châteauneuf – Dijon | 42 km
This stage leads you to Dijon along the ‘Vallée de l’Ouche’, peaceful river crossing the forest. You will ride along the Canal de la Bourgogne used by barges and tourist boats. You will get into Dijon using the ‘Green Way’!
