Moving around in Burgundy
Free yourself from the car during your stay in Burgundy: for cyclists, walkers and the eco-sensitive, the Burgundy region
has introduced a unique website bringing together information on all the interconnected public transport networks in
the region. From city bus to the tourist shuttle or coach, or the TER train, you can now organise your leisure days... at
your leisure.
New: tourist shuttles! (indicated by this logo)
Connecting with the TER trains and the departmental bus services, these coaches depart from the railway stations and
run every day during the summer. They give you the opportunity to visit up to 3 attractions in one day if you wish. You
can even take your bike if you just want a change of scenery to ride through!

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 lock 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-surSaône, 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...

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!
For more info, the guidebook “La Bourgogne
à pied” (in french) published by the French
Federation of Hiking is available in bookstores.
… in time
with the water
With nearly 1,200 miles of rivers and canals, Burgundy
is a boating paradise: river cruises in a hotel barge
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.

…on horseback
The Burgundy wildness is surprising, and discovering
it on horseback is an experience. The 6, 500 km of
marked equestrian trails that run through the area
provide many opportunities to see it. Experienced
riders take off in complete freedom, while beginners
and younger riders are introduced to horse riding:
trotting or galoping with an instructor. For a few hours
or more, regardless of your level, you will enjoy, with a

relaxation and conviviality.

… by bike
Burgundy by bike is full of promise. A promise kept
thanks to the “tour de Bourgogne à vélo®”, a cyclable
circuit of 800 km, which puts a great deal of Burgundy
châteaux and villages. But not just that: the routes of the
Blue Way, the Charles le Téméraire route, also cross the
area, and you can discover them at your own pace. On
your way, there are plenty of service providers available
to you. You can’t go wrong by choosing subscribers to
the label “Accueil vélo” (Cyclists welcome): they follow
a charter based on many quality criteria in terms of
reception or facilities.

Our ancestors,
the Gauls
Since Palaeolithic times, Burgundy has always been
a haven, a place to live. In every age, men of the past
have left their mark. Sprung from the depths of time,
it is still visible in many archaeological sites that tell us
all a story: the life of Palaeolithic hunters, the Celtic
epic, the consecration of Vercingétorix, the conquest
of Gaul by Julius Caesar... In Bibracte, Alésia, Autun
and Châtillon-sur-Seine, modern museum facilities,
tours and/or educational activities and games for
children and the whole family will help you step into
history.
The Roman,
a true story
Industrial
memory
Rich in raw materials - clay,
iron ore, wood, stone and coal
- and enjoying a favourable
geographical
location
and
hydrological network, Burgundy
experienced an early industrial
development.
From
north
to south and from east to
west, memorials, museums
and industrial buildings bear
witness to the work of man.
From the forges of Buffon to
the underground quarries of the
Yonne, from the mines of Blanzy
and La Machine to the ecomuseum of Le Creusot and
its sledgehammer, from the potteries of the Puisaye
to the manufactures of earthenware and ceramics in
Digoin and Nevers, the genius of Burgundy lives in
its places of memory. Some still resonate to human
activity, others, thanks to the tours led by former
workers and modern re-enactments, will immerse
you in the lives of the workers from the past.
10
It was in Burgundy that the two greatest monastic
reform movements of the Middle Ages were born.
Cluny, then Cîteaux were, from the 10th to 12th
centuries, not only spiritual centres, but also leading
intellectual, artistic and even political centres in Europe.
From the great abbeys and cathedrals to countless
churches, the exploits of the Roman builders can be
seen and discovered in Burgundy. Even today, the
region is home to communities of all faiths, alive and
well, who welcome pilgrims, believers and visitors:
Cistercian and Benedictine abbeys and ecumenical,
Orthodox and even Buddhist communities...

city of art, dedicated to the vine and wine business.
But also many cities that have sprung up by rivers:
Auxonne, Chalon-sur-Saône and Mâcon owe their
origin to Gallo-Roman ports on the Saône. Digoin,
Decize and Nevers retain the memory of the boatmen
of the Loire; Clamecy, Auxerre, Joigny and Sens from
the log runners who supplied Paris. Not to mention
the small mediaeval towns like Noyers-sur-Serein,
Montréal, Semur-en-Auxois, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain,
Châteauneuf-en-Auxois and Brancion, which offer
you the charm of their mediaeval setting.

1
Dijon, the regional capital, has exceptional
assets: the countless monuments in its
entirely preserved, largely pedestrian city
centre, are a reminder that it was, under the
Dukes of Burgundy, the capital of a State that
encompassed both Flanders and Burgundy.
To see also: the Palace of the Dukes and the
States of Burgundy, the numerous museums
(Fine Arts, Archaeology, Life in Burgundy, Magnin,
Rude…) and the Regional Contemporary Art
Fund, Saint-Bénigne Cathedral (pre-Roman
crypt), the Church Notre-Dame and the
Jacquemart clock, the Church Saint-Michel,
the wealthy townhouses and ancient houses,
the Charterhouse of Champmol and the famous
Fountain of Moses (Claus Sluter), the market.
The Hôtel-Dieu and the city of Beaune

Beaune, the Burgundy wine capital. The city’s
treasure is unquestionably its Hôtel-Dieu.
Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor
of the Dukes of Burgundy, it is a jewel among
the hospices of the region: a true palace for
the poor, it is the most eloquent example of
Burgundy Flemish art. Its polychrome ceilings
are famous the world over.
To see also: the Collegiate Church Notre-Dame,
the Church Saint-Nicolas, the Wine Museum,
the countless cellars open to the public, the
Bouzaize Park, the Fallot mustard factory.

The Sainte-Madeleine Basilica and the village of Vézelay,

Map ref. C4
The prosperity of Vézelay lasted for a number of
centuries, when thousands of pilgrims, Princes,
Kings, and Emperors came here to worship the
relics of St. Mary Magdalene before setting off
on their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela
or for the crusades. Perched on the top of the
“eternal hill”, the Basilica is a masterpiece of
Romanesque art and displays an extraordinary
collection of sculptures. To get there, one must
climb the hill, between two rows of tightly packed
houses from every century, since this Mediaeval
village fully occupies one side of the hill.

medieval fortress from the 12th century, as a gift
from Louis XIV after the capture of the city of

construction of a large gallery overlooking the

It is in Burgundy that the watershed is found
between the basins of the 3 main French rivers:
the Seine, the Loire and the Rhone. In order for
them to meet, a series of canals were built in

seven in fact, together with the navigable rivers
Saône, Yonne and Seille, they constitute a
unique network and make the region a paradise
for boating. More than just waterways, they tell
their story and the odyssey of water transport.
Along the water, the unique heritage punctuates
the journey: staircase locks such as at Rognyles-Sept-Ecluses on the Briare canal, manual
tunnels, aqueducts...

Tanlay Château

Located in the Armançon valley, Tanlay Château
is one of the most beautiful Renaissance houses
in Burgundy. This architectural ensemble from
the 16th and 17th centuries captivates with
its atmosphere and memories of a turbulent
page in the history of France that it evokes:
Admiral Coligny, Lord of the Manor in the 16th
century, was accustomed to gather here the
other leaders of the Protestant League. Every
summer, the outbuildings of the château are
used as venues for contemporary art exhibitions
of international standing.
