A cycling holiday in Burgundy

Burgundy has a very well-developed network of cycle paths. These are asphalted, with the majority of the paths well maintained and excellent to ride on. The traffic-free routes not only offer countless rest areas with tables, but also lead through the region's most scenic locations. Moreover, due to the connection to the cycle paths of neighbouring regions, very extensive cycling trips are also possible.

In spring, when everything blooms in Burgundy, cycling is particularly beautiful. The temperatures can reach 20 degrees. Even in summer, the weather in Burgundy is perfect for us cyclists, as it is not too hot. Although it is pleasantly warm and sunny, you should not expect temperatures of up to 40 degrees. Burgundy is particularly beautiful in Autumn, when the vineyards glisten with colour and the new wines are proudly presented. Look forward to a pleasant temperature in a beautiful setting.

Burgundy is considered a representative of nouvelle cuisine. Some Burgundy products and dishes are world-famous. Take, for example, the most famous mustard in the world – Dijon mustard, named after the capital of Burgundy. Be sure to try the fabulous Escargots de Bourgogne – snails with herb butter, served with fresh baguette. Or pôchouse – fish poached in a white wine with vegetables. You can expect many more delicacies!
