An e-bike ride through the vineyards
It's true that there are countless reasons to come to Burgundy in autumn!

Ride through the Yonne vineyards, go on a lunchtime or evening cruise on the Yonne, enjoy a walk around Auxerre at your own pace, and so much more. You're guaranteed to be leaving with some fantastic memories!

"I want to ride my bicycle..."
We recommend putting all your trust in specialist Christiane and setting off on a fun electric bike ride with friends on a Sunday through the Yonne vineyards.
If you choose the ride through the Auxerrois and Chablisien vineyard with France à Vélo, you will be riding through some pretty winegrowing villages and charming medieval towns.
Comfortably seated on your Bosch 500+ electric bike, you won't even realise you've covered 64 km!
It's lunchtime
In Burgundy, the delicious local products are sacred. While you're out on your bike ride, you could stop for a 100% Burgundian picnic with the beautiful colours of autumn serving as the backdrop.
Tasting in amongst the vines
A bike ride through the vines is one thing, but tasting the delicious production from these vines is even better!
Come to an estate to taste and learn all about the wines of the Chablisien and Auxerrois vineyard. Among them is the famous Chablis, a globally renowned white wine with notes of pear, grapefruit and honey. An awakening for all the senses!
France à Vélo organises everything
Thanks to her extensive experience in tourism, and more specifically in organising group trips, Christiane Trégouet will be delighted to share her passion for cycling and for Burgundy with you.
France à Vélo has 47 itineraries on offer, all with varying difficulty and duration, so there's something for everyone and for all levels of ability!
We highly recommend the electric scooter! This fun and original means of transport is very practical and a great way to access the whole vineyard. France à Vélo has electric scooters available to hire.

Auxerre, Town of Art and History
It’s not possible to come to the Yonne without visiting Auxerre. There are superb views of the river Yonne from the town and cathedral, and this town is particularly beautiful in autumn when the blazing autumn colours are everywhere and reflect onto the waters. We have selected 2 of the unmissable sights to see here, besides the guided tour of this pretty town.
