In addition, you will encounter a cuisine that invites you to dream. You will explore all these facets of South Burgundy from the saddle of your bicycle. On predominantly dreamy little roads or agriculturally used side roads, the bike tour leads you from the ducal city of Dijon in a round trip through inviting wine towns and romantic villages back to the starting point.
