Shared Small Group: Burgundy Villages of Auxois: A Day of History & Culture
Rolling countryside, stone-built villages, and centuries of history define this immersive journey through Burgundy’s most evocative towns. Departing Dijon, the experience unfolds at an unhurried pace, revealing places where medieval life feels remarkably intact. Flavigny-sur-Ozerain enchants with quiet lanes, ancient abbey walls, and sweeping views over the Auxois landscape, while its timeless atmosphere reflects the soul of rural Burgundy. In Semur-en-Auxois, dramatic ramparts and Gothic architecture rise above the Armançon River, offering a striking contrast of elegance and strength. The day culminates in Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, a hilltop village crowned by a formidable 12th-century château and panoramic countryside vistas. Throughout the day, a knowledgeable guide brings each setting to life with stories of Burgundian heritage, craftsmanship, and daily life, creating a refined balance between discovery and relaxation.
This small-group experience offers an authentic glimpse into Burgundy beyond the vineyards, rich in character, history, and sense of place.
