Sidetrip to Beaune

We%26#39;re arriving in Paris Sat a.m. and decided to head straight to Beaune for some R%26amp;R and some wine before visitng the main attraction....Paris. I read that Beaune and it%26#39;s vineyards are bikable. My husband and I are in relatively good shape, how many vineyards can we comfortably bike to if we%26#39;re staying in the center of Beaune?

You probably should post this specific question on the Burgundy forum, for the particular information you need. I (and undoubtedly others) have some experience with Beaune, but nothing like the people who specialize in that area. Have fun!

If you go out of Beaune towards Dijon on the N74 it is flat, so you will have easy riding. It is 39km between the two, so decide how far you can comfortably cycle. There are vineyards %26amp; tastings all the way along the road %26amp; in the small towns %26amp; villages just off.



If you head out of Beaune towards Autun there are plenty of places along that road, but it is more hilly %26amp; scenic.

There%26#39;s also a signed bike route going south on minor roads towards Santenay ville-de-santenay.fr/santenay/img/veloroute_… which goes through Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, amongst others.
