Once the richest of France’s ancient duchies, Burgundy still exudes the wealth and charm born from centuries of winemaking. Cycling through this region means riding along quiet vineyard lanes and peaceful country roads, where the only traffic you might meet is a tractor hauling the day’s harvest. It’s an immersive way to experience the rolling countryside and its timeless rhythms.
Charming villages dot the landscape—each with inviting wine cellars offering tastings and cozy restaurants serving winemakers’ lunches that are as refined as they are authentic. After 15+ years of exploring this region by bike, we know Burgundy intimately—from its Flemish-style châteaux to the remarkable Hospice de Beaune.
