The Valley of Gastronomy in Burgundy

An outstanding destination from Dijon to Marseille

Well-known as being two of the most popular holiday roads, and also thanks to the many Michelin-starred chefs here, the National 6 and National 7 roads in France have a fascinating history in terms of French food and drink.

Alongside the Saône and the Rhône, you'll find a selection of Gourmet Offers and Remarkable Experiences ("once in a lifetime experiences!") that will show you the sheer diversity of this vast territory that spans 3 regions:

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes,
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté,
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Come and explore the winegrowing estates and wine-tasting cellars, the local craftspeople, restaurants and inns, producers and other activities and sights related to gastronomy and wine in this geographical area. The celebrations and events on this theme are also unmissable...
