Additional Information
Starting in medieval Auxerre, one of the prettiest riverside cities in
France, this gentle-paced ramble takes you through picture-postcard Burgundy.
You'll walk along towpaths, river valleys and wheat fields alive with bright
red poppies, as you head via the wine capital of Chablis, to the fortified
medieval town of Vezelay, an important stopping-off point for pilgrims on
their way to Santiago de Compostela. Vespers are still held here daily at the
UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Basilica of Mary Magdalene. En route,
you'll pass through world-famous vineyards with plenty of /degustation/
opportunities and flower-filled hillsides crowned with woods and pretty
riverside villages.
