Town of the Dukes
A weekend in Dijon
If your knowledge of Dijon is limited to the mustard and Dukes of Burgundy, then it is high time you came to really explore this town, full of elegance and spice.
Pronounced "Ausserre"!
A Weekend in Auxerre
In just 2 and a half hours on the train from Paris, you'll be sitting on the banks of the Yonne sipping a Kir cocktail! A change of scenery guaranteed! The rest of your stay will be just as appealing: Saint-Etienne Cathedral, boat trip on a barge...
A weekend in Auxerre
Of the towns on the edge of Burgundy, Auxerre is only 1.5 hours from Paris, at the heart of the Auxerrois vineyard. Explore the banks of the river Yonne, or the stone and wood of the historic town centre, there are so many different atmospheres to enjoy in the beautiful town of Auxerre (pronounced "Ausserre" if you want to be like the locals).
The quintessence of Burgundian art-de-vivre
A weekend in Beaune
Beaune is the perfect example of French art-de-vivre: cobbled streets, remarkable heritage sites including the famous Hospices, pleasant wine-tasting cellars, shops on every street corner, all surrounded by a prestigious vineyard! It comes as no surprise that tourists from all over the world come here... including you!

Schneiderville
A closer look at Le Creusot
In 1836, the Schneider brothers launched Le Creusot steel in Saône-et-Loire. At the time, as the industrial revolution was underway and the train business was developing, they began producing locomotives and railway tracks. This was the start of an empire, which is today centred around electricity. In the former Schneider family château, we can now visit the Musée de l’Homme et de l’Industrie.
The stained-glass windows, earthenware, banks of the Loire…
A weekend in Nevers
Nevers is on the banks of the Loire and is not an exception to the rule that "wherever there is the Loire, there are Châteaus"! Besides the beautiful duke's palace, you'll be taken aback by the other highlights of this town: earthenware, good wine including the famous Pouilly-Fumé, boat trips, etc. You are in for some great new experiences.
