Additional Information
This eight night tour provides a real connoisseur's guide to Burgundy: the
wines, the towns and the strategic importance of the waterways over the
centuries. The cycling is relaxed and undemanding, along riverside trails and
canal towpaths, and takes you through rolling countryside, with vineyards and
orchards to the north, and flower-filled meadows and woods to the south.
Highlights include the famous Mary Magdalene Basilica at Vezelay, a UNESCO
heritage site, medieval Noyers-sur-Serein with its half-timbered houses and
cobbled streets and, of course, a plethora of fine wine-tasting opportunities
in Chablis and beyond. The routes have been specially designed to allow for
lazy riverside lunches, wine /cave/ visits and a chance to potter around the
pretty ports and villages along the Canal de Nivernais.
