Itinerary
Day 1
Paris
Our adventure begins as we set off from Paris (starting from 08:00 am, exact starting time will be confirmed ahead of departure), heading east through the idyllic landscapes of Burgundy. Our first visit is to Noyers-sur-Serein, renowned as one of France's most picturesque towns. Here, you’ll meander through narrow lanes lined with stone and half-timbered houses, explore a charming central square, and admire historic town walls. We then proceed to Beaune, Burgundy's wine capital. You’ll have the chance to enjoy lunch at your leisure and perhaps take a leisurely stroll. We recommend visiting the Hospices of Beaune, a 15th-century medieval hospital that once served the impoverished. As our day unfolds, we journey to Dijon, the vibrant regional capital. In Dijon, explore lively streets with magnificent medieval and Renaissance architecture, including the stunning Palace of the Dukes. Tonight, we will be staying in Dijon.
