The tour operator suggests you bring your own helmet for safety and hygiene reasons. Alternatively, helmets are provided on arrival.

The tour has 2 full days of cycling, with approximately 30 km (18.6 mi) each day. The region’s wine culture is very much in evidence along the whole route and there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and learn more and even taste the local produce.

Most of the route is on quiet roads (about 95% of the time) and there are some rolling hills to tackle, but nothing that will distract from a leisurely and refined cycle journey through the vineyards of Burgundy.

The tour starts and ends in Beaune. Fly in/out of Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) or Geneva International Airport (GVA).

By train, Beaune train station is a 15 minute walk from the hotels. A high speed train (TGV) can be taken from Paris Gare de Lyon to Dijon with a transfer to the regional train from Dijon to Beaune.
