Cycling “Le Tour de Bourgogne” in 6 days – Day 2
In May 2024 I cycled the “Tour de Bourgogne a Velo” in the Burgundy region of France.
A very pleasant ride and perfect for people who want to avoid the “hassle” of the transportation of bicycle and cyclist back to the starting point of a tour
I stayed in hotels for 2 nights and camped for 3 nights.
Highlights:
* Cycling infrastructure
* Availability of eating / sleeping / shopping options
* Mostly easy cycling, a bit more strenuous in the stretch from Beaune to Paray le Monial
* Beautiful gentle scenery, specially in the wine region after Baune.
In this video you can see the second day of this trip where I ride from Pacy sur Armancon to Dijon along the Canal de Bourgogne.
It was a rainy and cold day on the bike. I did however still enjoy this day very much, mostly because of the gentle landscape and some interesting sights along the way:
* Tunnel de Canal de bourgogne
* Chateauneuf castle
* Aquaduct over the river Ouche

That was a big day on the bike.
the washing building is called "lavoir" and the purple plants is linnen (lin in french)
Beautiful scenery, great ride, houdoe.
Great video. I wish I could be there, it looks so beautiful. Instead I am stuck here in the cold and rain at the tail end of winter. Next Year! (I hope).
That was a long day. Looks like despite the weather you had a good time. Houdoe.
