If you arrive earlier, we recommend a walk through Auxerre, city of Art and History that has conserved an exceptional architectural heritage. Its cathedral, a model of gothic elegance, the St Germain Abbey, a nearly intact monastic complex with crypts dating back to the 9th Century containing one of the oldest mural paintings discovered in France, not to mention a charming city centre with great boutiques.

You begin your cycle through the fields and will stop in Pontigny where you discover the Cistercian Abbey, the largest and one of the most beautiful Cistercian churches remaining in France. Then you continue to the Chablis vineyards, with of course a fantastic picnic that will be served on the way. Burgundy’s largest white wine vineyard is your programme today. Arriving at the Charme-Hotel in the centre of Chablis, it will be time to enjoy a Chablis wine tasting in an old cellar from the 17th of century.
