Burgundy, in the heart of France, is best known for its wonderful wine. But you'll discover a lot more here: little villages, whose century-old houses tell takes of long forgotten times. Churches and monasteries which have become treasure troves of Central France's cultural boom. Burgundy will also spoil you in terms of its culinary delicacies: under the heavy branches of the sweet-green vines, enjoy the delicious French cuisine. That is Burgundy – a paradise for cyclists. Cluny, once a powerful monastery; Dijon, the home town of dukes; Beaune, with its famous Hotel-Dieu – these are the highlights of your cycling tour through Burgundy.
