One of France’s most incredible places to visit is Burgundy, which is eastern part of France. If you’re going to Burgundy, you ought to visit “Route des Grands Crus“, which is a 60-kilometre running nort to south between Dijon and Beaune and lead to Santenay. It’s really beautiful country side and it passes through the many of great vineyards of Burgundy wines.
Cycling the route is an ideal way,which you’ll enjoy a tasty trip and picturesque villages at your own pace. You need to rent a bicycle, wear comfortable shoes , a sunhat, carry some water , a raincoat and a camera .You don’t need to carry your lunch, because there are some restaurants, which serves the local foods and cafe on the way.
Frist of all, you rent your bicycle at Beaune and then you start to the heart of Burgundy wines region. After you leave Beaune ride through the vineyards for a while. About half way, you get on Nuit-Saint-George and have a tasting lunch. After lunch you keep on cycling and stop at Romane Conti’s vineyard,which is the most famous wine in the world. After that you pass “Chateau Clos de Vougeot“,which is a highly symbolic building, is really picturesque. Then you arrive at Gevrey-Chambertin village and visit the winery, which is possible tasting wine. Finally you go back to Beaune by bicycle or by train with your bicycle.
Unfortunately, it depends on the weather, if you’ll be able to enjoy and you need to take care of traffic. However I think it’s worth it, because it’s so spectacular.
