Discovering Beaujolais by Bike
Beaujolais, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Short Description
A 6-day self-guided cycling tour through the heart of Beaujolais, one of France's most celebrated wine regions. From Crêches-sur-Saône, you will ride between Pouilly-Fuissé vines and the prehistoric Solutré rock, then follow the route south through Villié-Morgon and Blacé, immersed in the cru villages that give Beaujolais its name. You will sleep in 3-star hotels chosen for character and location, dine on regional cuisine, and let the roadbook on your phone guide you while your luggage moves ahead. A climb up Mont-Brouilly will reward you with one of the finest viewpoints in the region. On Day 6, a private transfer takes you to Lyon, France's capital of gastronomy.
