Burgundy Bike Tour

Step into Dijon and step back in time. You’ll wander through winding lanes lined with timber-framed houses, and spot the glazed-tile rooftops that make Burgundy’s architecture so instantly recognisable. This city’s history lives in every corner – from grand mansions once home to nobility to the stately Ducal Palace, now proudly housing the Fine Arts Museum. Whether you’re soaking up the atmosphere or snapping photos of the intricate details, Dijon is a vibrant start to your journey.

Saddle up and ride straight into the magic of the Côte de Nuits. This is Burgundy at its most iconic – endless rows of vines, charming villages that seem frozen in time, and elegant châteaux built from rosy-hued stone. You’ll trace your way along peaceful bike paths that weave through some of the world’s most legendary vineyards – Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Clos de Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges. Each name is steeped in history, each turn offering a new postcard-perfect view. Your day ends in Beaune, a jewel of a town where art and heritage go hand in hand. Don’t miss the world-famous Hôtel-Dieu, with its dazzling tiled roof and centuries of stories.

You leave Beaune behind and ride into the rolling Burgundian countryside. The pace shifts as vineyards give way to open landscapes and quiet villages. Passing through Savigny-lès-Beaune, you glimpse its château before continuing along roads that weave through gentle hills. There’s a calmness here that lets you fully connect with the ride. Your day builds towards a memorable finish as Châteauneuf-en-Auxois appears on the horizon, perched high above the valley, its medieval château standing guard.

You set off alongside the peaceful Vallée de l’Ouche, where the route follows a serene river through woodland and open countryside. The riding is relaxed and rewarding, with the Canal de Bourgogne guiding you back towards Dijon. Barges drift by and the world slows down just enough for you to savour the final kilometres. You return to the city via the greenway, completing your journey with that satisfying feeling of having truly experienced Burgundy from the saddle.
