  • Burgundy (2 Days) Description

    Day 1

    After a 3-hour drive along the South highway, you will arrive in the medieval town of Vézelay, known as the “Eternal Hill”, famous for its
    Romanesque basilica, classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site. With your private guide, you will visit and learn the history of this monument, where
    Saint Bernard preached the second crusade in 1146.

    Then you will go to the garden behind the basilica where you will enjoy the marvelous view over the Morvan’s region, before walking around
    the narrow medieval streets of the village, still accompanied by your private guide.

    Once you have arrived at the bottom of the hill, he will recommend a restaurant (not included in the price).

    After lunch, you will head to Beaune, a small city surrounded by the world-renowned vineyards of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.

    Once you have arrived, you will really start your wine tour with the visit of The Caves Patriarche. A local guide will
    show you the vaulted cellars from the 13th and 14th century, explaining the work done there. This visit ends with a tasting of several wines produced in the region.

    At 5.00pm, your private guide will drop you off at your hotel in Beaune.

    Day 2

    The second day starts with the visit of the most beautiful building of Beaune: l’Hôtel-Dieu, also called Hospices de Beaune. This former
    hospital was founded in the mid-15th century by Nicolas Rolin to cure the poor people of the city. During your visit, you will enjoy the
    stunning colored-tiles roof and an extraordinary painting from the late Middle Ages that depicts the Last Judgement, by the Flemish artist Rogier van der
    Weyden.

    Then, you will leave Beaune and take the highway to the town of Chablis, famous for its white wine made of chardonnay.

    After lunch in a local restaurant (not included in the price), you will follow a guided visit of a winery with a tasting at the end, before driving you
    back to Paris.
