Description |
 |
| |
 The Burgundy region offers a natural heritage, rich in both history and especially in art. Since ancient times, its geographical position made it a crossroads for communications between the Mediterranean and Northern Europe which brought great prosperity as its famous wines magnified during the Middle Ages. Region of famous abbeys, departure point for the crusades and pilgrimage centre, Burgundy has attracted the crowds and political figureheads throughout the centuries.
After leaving the Southern highway, we follow the Yonne valley to Chablis, surrounded by vineyards and visit a local cellar to taste the white wine, one of the world’s best.
We’ll have lunch in the Bistrot des grands Crus (drinks not included) or a similar location. Afterwards, we continue on to Vézelay, the eternal hill, a village classified by UNESCO as a cultural world heritage sites. There will be a guided visit of the basilica dedicated to Saint Mary Madeleine, the centre of Romanesque architecture and sculpture.
Travelers will have some free time to browse around the village before returning to Paris via the medieval town of Auxerre.
