Walking in Burgundy: cultural walks
Dijon: capital of Burgundy
Our self-guided walking holidays start in Dijon, a city that boasts an exceptional architectural ensemble that testifies to a splendid past. Stroll on Rue de la Liberté, the main pedestrian street or follow the owl trail to the best attractions in Dijon and enjoy a coffee on liberation square offering the absolute best view of the front façade of the Dukes Palace. We also recommend climbing up Tour Philippe Le Bon for a panoramic view of the city. This is an excellent start to your walking in Burgundy trip!
A journey through Burgundy's vineyards
You spend time walking the Côte d’Or, literally meaning “Golden Slope or Coast”, a term referring to the allure of the vineyards in the autumn, their leaves changing colour and creating a golden blanket over the countryside. The limestone slopes covered in vines that are well exposed to the morning sun are used to make the famous “Côtes de Beaune”.
Visit the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, a gem in Burgundy's wine country. Famed for its prestigious Pinot Noir vineyards, including revered Grand Cru appellations like Chambertin, the village is a haven for wine connoisseurs. The historic Château de Gevrey-Chambertin adds a touch of medieval allure, while the Church of Saint Aignan, standing since the 13th century, echoes the village's enduring heritage. With a landscape adorned by meticulously tended vineyards, Gevrey-Chambertin beckons visitors to savor the essence of traditional winemaking, where each sip reflects the centuries-old commitment to crafting some of the world's finest wines.
In a few words
Hiking in Burgundy is easy, beautiful, varied and cultural: feel the sense of adventure as you walk along the banks of a rushing river or tackle a steep climb up to an incredible citadel. Enjoy a picnic on the shady esplanade of a Romanesque Basilica or sample some wine in a local cellar. Sit and watch the world go by on a terrace of a village café… walking in Burgundy should be on your to-do list this year!
