THE TOUR : 

The Burgundy region offers a natural heritage, rich in both history and specially in art. Since ancient times, its geographical position made it 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 through-out the centuries. We are going to discover two aspects.

After leaving the Southern highway, we reach the Serein valley at Chablis, surrounded by vineyards : visit to a local cellar and taste the white wine, one of the world's best. Lunch in the Bistrot des Grands crus (or similar) - drinks not included.

Continue to Vezelay, ""the eternal hill"", village classified by UNESCO as one of its cultural world heritage sites : guided visit to the basilica dedicated to Saint Mary Madeleine, centre of Romanesque architecture and sculpture, and which still keeps some relics of the Saint.

Free time to browse around the village and maybe to taste some other Burgundy red wines before returning to Paris.
