Independent Cycle Tours Burgundy - Burgundy Highlights

Day 1

Arriving Dijon  H-B
We suggest a 2 hours walk through the historical part of Dijon.

 

Day 2

Dijon to Beaune H-B 48 km
You ride south through the famous vineyards of the Côte-d’Or. All villages here produce 
Pinot noir grapes and their names are know from New-York to Japan, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romané, Aloxe-Corton…This ride takes us to the central part of the county in the town of Beaune.

 

Day 3

Beaune to Beaune B&B 24 or 52 km 
Today is flexible. The visit of Beaune can take half a day by itself and we highly recommend the Hospices. A small loop through vineyards and tasting are suggested. The Cistercien Abbey of Citeaux is the object of a visit on the long option.

 

Day 4

Beaune to Nolay H-B 30 or 42 km
Go south of Beaune and cycle through the village of Pommard, we enter Chardonnay land and the villages of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. We then follow the canal du Centre before heading eastward and away from the vineyards to Nolay.

 

Day 5

Nolay to Chateauneuf-en-Auxois H-B 36 or 45 km
You ride north through a really rural part of Burgundy. On the way up to the plateau, you go through the market town of Bligny-sur-Ouche then follow the OucheRiver before reaching the mediaeval village of Chateauneuf overlooking the countryside.

 

Day 6

Chateauneuf to Chateauneuf B&B 20 or 40 km
You can really take it easy today and explore the village with the 5 to 6 hundred years old buildings. We suggest a couple of rides to the village of Commarin and the market town of Pouilly-en-Auxois. You will have time for a drink and a very peaceful time in one of the canal locks around Vandenesse before going back to Chateauneuf.

 

Day 7

Chateauneuf to Dijon B&B 42 km
For most of the day you follow the Ouche valley down stream. You pass the villages of Gissey and Fleurey. You get back to Dijon centre along the canal. 

 

Day 8

The trip finishes in Dijon after breakfast.
