Wine tours and other tips

Hello,

Any recommendations on wine tours and activities in Burgundy? My wife and I will be there in June for 1 week...

Also, any tips on bicycle rentals? We will be driving from Paris... any other tips are appreciated :-)

We will then travel to Provence for 7-10 days...

Merci Beaucoup!!!

Whereabouts in Burgundy are you going to be based ? Beaune, Dijon, Auxerre ?

We have had a tour with http://www.burgundydiscovery.com/ which was fine. I think you%26#39;d get other operators from both the Beaune and Dijon tourist information offices.

Cycling is great with voies vertes (traffic free greenways) in the South of the area. You can download the brochure

VOIES VERTES ET CYCLOTOURISME 2006 (it%26#39;s in English and French) from

bourgogne-du-sud.com/telechargement/espace_t…

We found bike hire shops all the way along here - generally VTT (offroad) - but my husband had his racing bike and the routes were fine for him. We%26#39;re going back in a couple of weeks - he finds the area is really nice for varied riding (ie, some hills if he hasn%26#39;t got me with him!). Very pretty and not a lot of traffic - we also noticed that French drivers are very careful around cyclists and give plenty of room.

Thanks!

I will be driving from Paris to Chablis on the first night, then I have 7 days to spend in Burgundy before going to Provence for 10 days...

I would like to do a few wine tours and perhaps do some cycling. The agenda is still open...

I appreciate all recommendations!

Thanks again.

I can recommend Burgundy On A Plate

They will create a tour to fit the time you have available.

Have a look at http://www.burgundyonaplate.com - custom tours.

Have a wonderful time!
