Vintage Burgandy - Luxury cycling holiday in France

For fresh air, good food and cultural insights of France, Guy Batten recommends a relaxed cycling holiday through Burgundy, France. Whether you are cycling, savouring a picnic, buying croissants or sharing a glass of Mersault in a local bistro, Butterfield & Robinson are experts in holidays in France and have methodically uncovered the ultimate Burgundian indulgences since 1980.

Each cycling tour en Bourgogne feels as exhilarating as the first time. This is French wine’s ancestral home, where grand cru vineyards are your most trusted landmarks. From Dijon, France, you’ll cycle to the top of the gorgeous Hautes Côtes, sip vintages in the fields where they were cultivated, bed down at the Abbaye de la Bussière, the region’s most exclusive hotel accommodation, dine there in Michelin-starred heaven and explore the unhurried pleasures of Beaune with a local French guide. For Burgundian locals, time is measured by the season. For you, it’s calculated by the kilometre, the meal and the vintage — the yardsticks of pleasure. And an added bonus: the cost of this tour has been pegged at the 2009 level.
