Ride through the vines and along Nivernais Canal

"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!

 

 

Just go with the flow

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.

Come on, let's do it!

A superb stopover!

At the Domaine Alain Geoffroy in Beine, you are invited to come and discover the famous Chablis on a tasting at the estate. You’ll have the chance to visit the museum of the grapevine and bottle opener, where you’ll learn all about how winegrowers lived in the past.

Not to be missed!

The ultimate museum to understand the terroir

Your great escape in the land of wine inevitably includes a trip to the new Burgundy wine centre, the Cité des Climats & Vins de Bourgogne which opened its doors in spring 2023. After this visit you’ll know all there is to know about the famous “Climats of the Burgundy vineyard”.

This term has nothing to do with the weather! It refers to a parcel of vines recognised for its quality (geology, exposure, etc.), first identified centuries ago by the Cistercian monks who contributed substantially to the development of the Burgundy vineyard, much to the delight of wine enthusiasts!

These parcels hold the key to wines that resemble no other. No less than 1,247 climats feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list!

On the agenda

The Cité des Climats & Vins de Bourgogne is in fact 3 wine centres rolled into one, each located in one of Burgundy’s great vineyards, in Beaune, the region’s wine capital, Mâcon and Chablis. Thanks to the wide variety of activities available, both connoisseurs and novices can enjoy:

- an immersive tour experience 

- wine-tasting sessions for beginners

- guided tours for children and adults

- afterwork sessions on various themes to stimulate the senses

- workshops for adults and children

all against the backdrop of Le Petit Pontigny, a Cistercian medieval cellar to which modern architectural features have been added.

ALCOHOL CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH. PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY.

Unmissable

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.

In the evening...

We have selected some great places to stay for you in Auxerre and the surrounding area, especially adapted to this season.
