The morning air off the Canal de Bourgogne is cool and sharp; your tires whisper along the towpath as Dijon’s bell towers recede. Over five days you move from urban streets to rolling Auxois hills, through village squares and narrow lanes where grapevines angle their leaves toward the sun.

Burgundy’s story is written in stone and soil: Jurassic limestones that give Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits their mineral backbone, medieval walls and château courtyards from the era of the Dukes of Burgundy, and small domaines that keep centuries-old winemaking traditions alive. Cultural rhythms here are slow—market mornings in Nolay, lunchtime at a café in Meursault, tastings where producers explain climats and terroir.
On the bike you’ll cross varied terrain: flat canal paths, converted rail-trails, and short but steady climbs (daily ascent commonly 250–700 m). The route links Dijon, Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Chassey-le-Camp, Beaune and back to Dijon, with luggage transfers and a support van during ride days.
Practical edge: ride fitted road or hybrid bikes and expect 30–55 km a day on mixed pavement and greenways. Hydrate often—vineyard slopes trap the sun—and plan for changeable weather in shoulder seasons. Bring a light rain shell, layered clothing, and comfortable padded shorts; mechanics are available but basic repair skills help. Evenings are for wine tastings and regional cuisine, so reserve energy for the climbs and appetite for discovery.
