Burgundy

Discover the treasures of Burgundy by bike along some exceptional routes! This prestigious land combines historic heritage with world-renowned vineyards. Safe greenways and quiet roads invite you to immerse yourself in the Burgundian art of living.

The adventure unfolds from Dijon to Mâcon, passing through the magnificent city of Beaune. France’s first green route is the perfect place to explore the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
