"Le Cassissium" or be taken through centuries of traditional and
family-run mustard production at The Fallot Mustard Mill.
The Burgundy area is famous worldwide for wine but the local
cuisine is worth writing home about as well. Burgundy has a range
of culinary specialties like goat's cheese, Charolais beef, Bresse
chicken and Burgundy snails. And just imagine: you have decided
on a walking holiday, so you don't have to worry about
calories...you can spoil your taste buds and walk them off. Great!
Walk among vineyards and rolling hills. Pass through quaint
villages in the French landscape and take time at a local café - to
let it all sink in.
You can get to Beaune by air, train or car.
The nearest airport is Dijon-Bourgogne. The airport is located 6 km
south-east of Dijon, and currently served by flights from 15 French
cities and a number of European cities.

Beaune is an excellent starting point for walks in the Burgundy
area. The walled village is called "The Capital of Wine" by the
French, and it is surrounded by vineyards and fairy tale castles or
Chateaus - well worth a visit for their charm and the wine tasting -
not to forget.
