BURGUNDY WALKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 7 days/6 nights
Start/Finish: Dijon/Lyon
There’s no place we know better than Burgundy – in fact, we’ve
been here so long we’re considered locals. Our friends in this
region are more like family now and that makes every trip here,
well, a homecoming. So while our travellers inevitably rave
about the great wine, the tranquil trails, idyllic villages and
fabulous hotels, we believe Burgundy, like its world-class wine,
is most memorable for being experienced in good company. Whether
you’re clinking glasses in a medieval monastery, a subterranean
wine cellar, or a 13thC castle with towers, moats and
drawbridge, you may be surprised at how quickly you’ll come to
feel at home.
Trip Highlights:
- Stroll past the domaines of the world’s most famous
vintners
- Tour medieval Beaune with our local guide extraordinaire
Chantal
- Explore the subtle differences between average and
outstanding vintages (with the guidance of a local expert of
course)
- Stay in hotels as historic as they are grand, including
the new and exclusive Abbaye de la Bussière
- Dine on superb Michelin-starred creations while looking
out over the hills of the Beaujolais

Accommodations:
Abbaye de la Bussière, La Bussière-sur-Ouche
Relais & Châteaux
Purchased by the Cummings family in 2005, this “new” boutique
hotel is in fact a medieval castle that was once a Cistercian
monastery and later a hunting lodge. Now the country house hotel
offers luxurious accommodations within an 18-acre park. The
château was entirely refurbished prior to its opening, and
joined Relais & Châteaux in 2007. On top if this, Olivier Elzer,
the young talented chef of the property’s restaurant, earned his
first star in the famous Michelin Guide, also in 2007.
Hôtel Le Cep, Beaune
Small Luxury Hotels of the World
A collection of noble townhouses dating from the Middle Ages,
Hôtel Le Cep is ideally located within steps of the shops and
restaurants in the historic centre of Beaune. The courtyard is a
great spot to unwind over a glass of wine, and the tower
staircase leads to an incredible view over the city’s medieval
rooftops. Le Cep also has earned the distinction of being the
hotel with which B&R has worked the longest.
Château de Bagnols, Bagnols
Rocco Forte Hotels
This exquisite 13thC château is one of France’s great historic
monuments, complete with romantic towers, moats and a
drawbridge. Recently restored to its former glory, the château
displays Renaissance architecture and rooms decorated with rare
antiques, soft velvets and shimmering silks.
