Description
Burgundy is a land of beautiful rolling countryside, fine food and wine, history and tradition, and makes for a fantastic cycling destination. Starting in Auxerre, you’ll head out for six days of easy-paced touring, with time to admire the scenery and explore the region’s lovely little towns and villages en route. You’ll have a few large hills to negotiate though, but the views from the top and inevitable downhill freewheels will more than make up for it. Daily rides will take you between comfortable hotels, and your baggage will be transported for you. Along the way you’ll have the chance for a spot of wine tasting in Chablis and Bailly. You’ll also pass elegant chateaux and stay at medieval towns and villages like Noyers on the River Serein and Vézelay, with its stunning Romanesque abbey. The circular route takes you back to Auxerre at the end of a great week of French cycling.
