Barely out of Dijon, you'll find yourself in the vineyards of Marsannay-la-Côte. Don't miss the Aloxe-Corton wine estate with its magnificent decorated roof, and the 12th-century Château du Clos de Vougeot, which was once owned by the Cîteaux Abbey for centuries. Next, you'll pass through Nuits-Saint-Georges, named after the famous appellation wine produced there for centuries, and enjoy a tasting of these precious wines.

In the morning, take the time to visit the famous Hôtel-Dieu, a former hospital and jewel of 15th-century Gothic architecture, built after the Hundred Years' War. Then, leave Beaune and head north, passing through Savigny-lès-Beaune to reach a charming valley. And suddenly, there it is, majestically perched on its hill: the village of Châteauneuf beckons. All that remains is to climb the 2 kilometers to your destination. You won't regret this final effort, as the view from the top is magnificent!

Before leaving Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, we recommend visiting the 15th-century castle and soaking up the medieval atmosphere a little longer in the village's narrow streets. Then, set off by bike into the Ouche Valley and soon rejoin the Burgundy Canal. You'll pass by the Abbaye de la Bussière, now a luxury hotel, but whose grounds are still open to the public. Your route along the Burgundy Canal will take you to the outskirts of Dijon, where you can discover Lac Kir, named after the famous Canon Kir, a native of Dijon. Finally, you'll return to your starting hotel to enjoy your last evening in the capital of Burgundy.
