Escape the ordinary and dive into the heart of Burgundy’s rich history and culture with our exclusive day tour designed for international travelers. This carefully curated experience offers a perfect blend of picturesque medieval villages, local stories, and authentic regional cuisine.
Our tour takes you off the beaten path to explore some of the most beautiful and historic villages in Burgundy. From the cobblestone streets of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain to the fortified hilltop village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, each stop is a window into the region’s rich past and vibrant present.
Travel with a small group of like-minded adventurers to ensure an intimate and personalized experience. Your knowledgeable local guide brings each village to life with fascinating stories, historical context, and cultural insights, making your journey as educational as it is enjoyable.
Your adventure begins at a centrally located meeting point in Dijon, where you meet your English-speaking guide and board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. As you leave the city, enjoy scenic views of the Burgundy countryside with rolling hills, fields, and traditional farmhouses.
Step back in time in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, officially listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” Known for its ancient abbey and Anis de Flavigny sweets, this village offers a truly enchanting atmosphere. Wander its narrow, cobbled streets, admire stone houses and defensive gates, and enjoy panoramic views over the surrounding valleys.
Next, arrive in the medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois, dramatically perched above the Armançon River. Marvel at the impressive Gothic architecture of the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame and walk along the town’s ancient walls and round towers.
After your visit, indulge in a traditional Burgundy lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense), where you can savor regional dishes such as boeuf bourguignon, œufs en meurette, or escargots, often accompanied by a glass of local wine.
Your journey continues to Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, a fortified village perched high on a hill overlooking the Auxois plain. This remarkably preserved settlement is dominated by its 12th-century château, which once guarded an important medieval trade route.
Stroll through the village’s medieval streets lined with stone houses and flowered façades, and take time to enjoy the sweeping views of the surrounding countryside from the castle area.
After a day filled with cultural exploration and scenic discoveries, relax on the comfortable drive back to Dijon. You’ll return to the original meeting point with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation of Burgundy beyond its famous vineyards.
Join us on this unique day trip from Dijon and discover why Burgundy is much more than just wine. Perfect for travelers looking to explore the region’s hidden gems, this tour offers a deeper connection to the culture, history, and beauty of Burgundy’s most charming villages.
