We had a delightful biking trip with excellent organisation from Le Vélo Voyager. We had touring bikes and found the trip fine on very little training - although we usually do a bit of biking. The countryside was very pretty and the hotels were lovely, especially Villa Boucicaut in Chalon sur Saône. Highly recommended.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour . Les hôtels étaient très agréables avec une mention particulière pour l'hôtel Le Dracy . L'accueil a été chaque fois chaleureux ! Les chambres parfaites ! . Les repas excellents dans les hôtels ( A Meursault hôtel LE GLOBE le restaurant est étoilé) Le parcours est très agréable , que ce soit en Bourgogne du Sud , le long du canal du Centre ou à travers les vignes .
Le seul petit problème est l'emplacement réservé aux vélos à l'hôtel le Globe , il faut descendre dans une cave et l'escalier est étroit et les vélos électriques sont lourds
Ce fut vraiment un très beau périple

“ Magnifique Séjour découverte en Bourgogne ”

Séjour parfait que soit pour les hôtels, les visites, le circuit ainsi que le matériel (vélo).
Ce séjour nous a permis de découvrir la Bourgogne avec ces grands crus Meursault, Pommard, ces lieux emblématiques Hôtel Dieux à Beaune, Clos de Vougeot ou Dijon, mais aussi les rives du canal du centre avec ces écluses en début de circuit.
L'option transfert des bagages est un plus indéniable.

Die Reise entlang des Canal du Centre und durch die einmalig schönen Weinberge des Burgund liess keine Wünsche offen. Mit ausgezeichneten Mietvelos fuhren wir unbeschwert und gefahrlos auf der voie verte. Das Gepäck wurde von Hotel zu Hotel transportiert und war immer rechtzeitig im rechten Hotel. Die Hotels (Kategorie A) waren sauber und angenehm. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Das Hotel in Meursault ist neu renoviert im Stil der 60-er Jahre (hat mir speziell gefallen), das Hotel in der Nähe von Nuits Saint Georges lohnt einen Besuch, auch wenn es ein wenig peripher liegt, denn nicht nur die Zimmer sind schön und grosszügig, sondern auch der Garten, die Terrasse und die "Piscine" haben uns sehr gut gefallen.

Nous avons eu de très bons services de la part de Vélo Voyageur avant notre séjour. Les documents et conseils donnés nous ont permis de vivre un séjour très agréable. Les logements choisis ont répondu à nos attentes et même plus. Les transports de bagage ont été totalement satisfaisants. Nous ne pouvons que recommander Vélo Voyageur.

We organised a short cycle trip for our family, in the Burgundy wine region. Everything went well. The bikes were very good, the hotels were nice, the route was well thought out, the trip info was complete and easy to follow. The new GPS App was very helpful. I would highly recommend this company. This is our second experience with them.
“ Fantastic trip, flawless organization ”

This was my first bike tour during a trip and I'm more than happy that I organized it with Velo Voyageur. The scenery was amazing and all the information provided was clear and useful, from the suggested route to the restaurant recommendation (trust these guys - we ate at some amazing gems in Chagny and Beaune!).
The ride was pretty easy, and my wife and I had no trouble covering the distance. It starts longer in the 1st day (when you're at top energy) and is shorter in the 2nd and 3rd (when you are a bit more tired), which is quite nice. It's wonderful to ride a bit enjoying the river and vineyard scenery, stop to have a wine tasting, ride a bit more, stop for lunch and to visit a castle or church, ride a bit more - everything at your own pace and according to your interests.
Luggage transportation worked flawlessly and our bags were always there waiting for us at the next hotel at the end of the day. I have absolutely no complaints and would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone interested!
