Burgundy and its wines
The famous wine regions are the "Chalonnais" all round the city of "Chalon-sur-Saône", the "Mâconnais" all round the city of "Mâcon" and the "Beaujolais" which is situated south of "Mâcon". In nearly every wine growing farm you can participate in a wine taste.

Burgundy and its history
What about looking at the history of this region that leads us far into the middle ages?
What about the architecturally very important and unique "Abbay St. Philibert" at Tournus
and very easily attainable by bike, boat or car? What about the museum of photography
at "Chalon-sur-Saône"? It was here in one of the suburbs where Nicéphore Niepce invited in the 18th century the photography as we know it today.
