Honeymoon in the “heart of France” and bask in its glorious
delights. “Oh! How I would give up my happiness just for yours, although you
should never guess, If only on occasion, even from afar, I could hear the
laughter of that happiness, born of my sacrifice!” – Cyrano
The region of Burgundy is famous for not only its excellent
wines, but its rich medieval history and in particular its abbeys, as this was long
the religious center of France. A visit through Burgundy is best done by
car or bicycling, and it begins less than 2 hours away from Paris.
Among the highlights will definitely be your dining
experiences and visits to vineyards and wineries. And all wine tastings
are accompanied by fine food. Our tours take you to the finest private
cellars and include French cooking lessons and a local guide to highlight the
region’s cultural treasures.
Another special attraction in this region, if you want to
enjoy some of the finest lakes, hills and forests, is Morvan Regional
Park. Here you can hike up the Rocher de la Perouse and enjoy a
