Burgundy by Bike

A laid‑back loop through the heart of Burgundy, this collection links canals, vineyards, river valleys, and historic towns in one go. You’ll roll mostly on smooth, paved greenways and cycleways, with quiet country roads in between and the odd short stretch of gravel. It’s perfect for relaxed touring—ride the whole thing as a multi‑day adventure or dip into easy canal sections for shorter outings.

Expect gentle riding along the water with occasional climbs between valleys to mix it up. Surfaces lean heavily to asphalt, so it’s fast and friendly; the unpaved bits are generally mellow. Bring a comfy touring setup and take your time.

Highlights? Shady towpaths, vineyard horizons, riverside picnics, and plenty of chances to refuel on local cheese, mustard, and pastries. You can start anywhere and ride in either direction—just stitch together the sections that fit your plans. Slow travel at its best: Burgundy really shines from the saddle.
