The Shores of Burgundy

Paradoxically, water is an asset of primary importance in wine country. Burgundy has, in fact, the largest network of rivers and canals in France which, in the 17th century, contributed to its economic development by enabling the transport of raw materials. Today, pleasure boater or not, it will make you happy: the towpaths are the starting points for excursions to explore the cyclists and boatmen, cross natural habitats where you can see ducks and herons, and you can stop in the houses converted into taverns or lively pubs, and call in at ports and mooring points to replenish supplies. As for festivities, there are several dates that offer you the traditions born out of life on and around the water: nautical jousting, log run festivals and canal festivals, and the pardon des mariniers (boat festival). Not to be missed!

City breaks

Auxerre, Sens, Dijon, Beaune, Nevers, Chalon-sur- Saône, Mâcon... large or small, towns full of art and history or “simple” towns full of character, the towns of Burgundy are much more than open air museums to be discovered alone or with a guide. Quite the contrary! Take the time to enjoy their atmosphere; full of charm, they will give you many pleasant memories. During the day, depending on time and according to your preference, treat yourself to some shopping in the commercial streets, a visit to the market or a stroll through the streets or gardens. And in the evening, leave your hotel or your guest house: go to rediscover the town by night, in a different light and enjoy the many style; cosy wine bars, performance venues...

Green holidays

Stressed or worn out? Then head for Burgundy! It offers the ideal environment to disconnect and recharge. Devise your own stay: “carefree” or active. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, let yourself go with nothing to do, give yourself a moment of pampering dedicated to nature walks and evenings around the different activities you can try: hiking in all its forms, lively or recreational water sports, climbing or caving... As for accommodation, we invite you to book a yurt, a tree house, a cottage by the lake or a caravan; or, more traditionally, to go camping, or rent a cottage, or stay in a guest house or an attractive privately-run hotel in the heart of a green holiday resort or a quaint village. Puisaye, Tonnerrois, Châtillonnais, Auxois, Nivernais, Morvan, Charolais... are some of the destinations to favour and discover in all seasons.

Visits to vineyards

Few regions express the notion of “civilization of wine” like Burgundy. Here, wine is the foundation, the origin of many landscapes, buildings, traditions... So many beautiful things patiently built around wine, by wine and for wine! With family, friends or a couple, you can explore the vineyards and vary your pleasures: visit the Clos de Vougeot or the Hameau du Vin, try some wine hot-air balloon or microlight, visit a wine festival or wine fair, be welcomed at the home of a winemaker... we have gone into overdrive and concocted offers to taste sip by sip. And 4 territories have been awarded the “Vineyards and Discoveries” label, which guarantees you quality “wine tourism”: tourism professionals work hand in hand with those of wine. For your enjoyment.

Burgundy on foot

Burgundy has long been a haven for walkers. In fact, since the Middle Ages, when pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela crossed the region en masse from Vézelay to Nevers. This activity has not declined, since the region is now crossed by some 6, 000 km of marked trails, from simple walks to hiking on a small and grand scale. With a guide or totally independently, lace up your trainers and explore the Morvan massif, the vineyards or the banks of the Loire. Along the way, you will go from discovery to discovery, because some routes are historical, others thematic, but always in the midst of nature for guaranteed well-being!

… in time with the water

With nearly 1,200 miles of rivers and canals, Burgundy is a boating paradise: river cruises in a hotel to navigate with comfort; a houseboat to enjoy with family or friends for the joys of free-cruising or a boat ride for a shorter trip with the kids... There’s something for everyone. Cast off and take to the water: your journey will be punctuated by stops and you can enjoy a passage through a lock or stop to enjoy the walks and discoveries along the towpaths. Nearby there are vineyards, picturesque villages, castles, churches... in short, a varied Burgundy of exceptional heritage.
