Magnificent nature
Enjoy landscapes of exceptionnal charm. They are very varied with villages and vineyards in wine regions. But Burgundy also offers a marvellous canal system providing a network of navigable waterways which nowadays can be enjoyed for all forms of holiday activities. "Canal du centre" is only 10 kms away.
Morvan (French), an extensive natural park of half a million acres in the centre of the region, is stunningly beautiful... huge forests, rolling hills and lakes.
Throughout the region there are wonderful ways to enjoy the outdoors: the walking opportunities are impressive whether through forest or rural farmland. Enjoy to just drive along small back roads where the stress of daily life seems light years away.
A holiday to France is punctuated with wine and food. Burgundy is paradise. Burgundy is the region that gave us the Kir’©, ‘Boeuf Bourguignon’ and‘Coq au Vin’. Charolais beef, Bresse chicken, escargots, mustard, gingerbread cake...and so many other items that make eating sheer delight.
In Burgundy, "Vignerons" really do think that the wine they produce rates with the finest in the world. You can sense their satisfaction with the wonderful product that come to these chalky or rocky hillsides. The whole process of making wine is a very
personal business. Sure, there are large producers but, in the main Burgundian winemakers own small "parcels" of land and so they know very vine, almost very stone personally.
In addition, Burgundy come alive with music, theatre, dance and song from June until October at over a hundred locations.
