The Tour of Burgundy by bike

Burgundy boasts nearly 1,000 km of cycle paths.

It is one of the regions in France best equipped with cycle paths and greenways. Local authorities quickly realized the potential of cycle tourism and that cycling was a wonderful way to discover Burgundy's heritage and terroirs. The region boasts numerous local, regional, national, and European routes (Tour de Bourgogne, Échappée Bleue, Canal du Nivernais, Canal de Bourgogne, EuroVelo 6, etc.).

Burgundy, a surprising cycling destination.

You're probably familiar with Burgundy's reputation for excellent wines. The grands crus and great estates are numerous and are often accompanied by excellent gastronomy. Cycling through the vineyards is enjoyable, but stopping for lunch or dinner with excellent local products is certainly even more so.

You're probably also familiar with Burgundy's reputation for impressive heritage. Follow in the footsteps of Vercingetorix and Caesar in Alesia and/or visit the many medieval and Renaissance heritage sites, such as Fontenay Abbey, Ancy-le-Franc Castle, or the many picturesque villages with undeniable charm.

But Burgundy also boasts unspoiled nature, villages perched in the hills or nestled against cliffs, orchards, forests... in short, a wide variety of landscapes for our enjoyment.
