Green and sporty Burgundy

Burgundy's must-visit destinations should not overshadow the region's peaceful corners of nature, just waiting to be explored. Horse-back riding or walking in the Morvan, swimming and paddling in the lakes, bike rides along the famous Burgundy Canal... With the Côte d'Or National Park, a kingdom of deer and black stork-and the Morvan Regional Park-this little piece of French Canada invites you to take in its bucolic charms and absorb its vivid colors and fresh air.

The Côte d'Or and its wines

The famous Route des Grands Crus unfurls via 37 legendary towns and villages, between the effervescent, cultural gem of Dijon and the peace and bucolic beauty of Santenay. The 'Vignobles & Découvertes' sign will direct you to the best wineries in the region, where you can meet the region's passionate winegrowers. They will be happy to share with you the flavors and secrets of Burgundy's vineyards, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.

Visit Châteauneuf-en-Auxois

With its fortress overlooking the Burgundy Canal and cobbled streets that bloom in spring, Châteauneuf is without doubt one of the most beautiful villages in France. Admire its centuries-old stone houses on your way to visit the castle, a true gem of 14th-century Burgundian military architecture. Don't miss its medieval-inspired gardens, where different species of medicinal and aromatic plants are grown alongside those cultivated for their pigments.
