As well as exploring Beaune’s sights such as the Hotel-Dieu des Hospices, a magnificent Gothic hospital, now a museum, and possibly a wine tasting of two, there is time for a cycle ride to Aloxe Corton.  Aloxe Corton is home to two of the best Grand Crus in Burgundy, Corton red and Corton-Charlemagne white produced in these gently sloping vineyards. On route, you can also visit the Chateau de Savigny-les-Beaune, which as well as being a stunning building, it has an impressive collection of vintage aeroplanes, cars and motorcycles!

The day is short, making it possible to soak up the charm of Beaune itself for one more afternoon.
