You will effortlessly reach Chagny, then Santenay, gateway to the Côte de Beaune vineyards. The cycle route of the Voie des Vignes (Vineyard Way) then undulates from village to village on small roads in the heart of the vineyards. You will stop in Meursault, known for its castle and for having been one of the filming locations of the movie "La Grand Vadrouille", then you will reach the magnificent city of Beaune with its hospices.

Your itinerary leads you to the doors of the Clos Vougeot castle, a highly symbolic place founded by the monks of the Cîteaux Abbey. The visit will enlighten you on the architecture of the place but also on the rites of the brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin. You continue to Dijon, former capital of the powerful Dukes of Burgundy. This lively city welcomes you warmly in its remarkably preserved pedestrian center.
