Discover Burgundy Wine Country


Burgundy may be well known for its Chardonnay white wines and Pinot Noir red wines, but little do people know that it also has more to offer than wine.



A visitor can spend an entire day in the vineyards or alternately, rent holiday properties in Burgundy and discover French food, wine and its countryside at their best. A visitor can either relax or visit Santiago de Compostella as a pilgrim or instead explore its heritage, culture, gastronomy or take part in leisure sports activities, such as golf and water sports.

Landscape Burgundy lies along the main communication lines between Lyon-Paris. The river Loire borders this beautiful region and the major towns include Autun, Avallon, Chalon-sur-Saone, to name a few.

Burgundy’s history stretches into the past and the towns and villages are adorned with some of the spectacular castles, basilicas and Romanesque structures.

The climate in Burgundy varies according to the latitude, with the southern region being slightly warmer. Burgundy experiences sporadic rainfalls and warm sunny days in autumn. The best time to visit Burgundy is between May and October, so it would be wise to book your holiday property rentals in Burgundy during this season.

Travel Details Burgundy currently does not have an international airport, but there are a number of charter and private airports. It can also be reached by the TGV train from Paris in less than 2 hours. Burgundy also has an excellent road and public transport system. Although there are a number of good hotels, a holiday rental in Burgundy would be the ideal place for a visitor.
