Gîtes Burgundy

Discover Burgundy during your holiday with family or friends in a gîte

For a weekend, a week or more, plan your getaway in a Clévacances gîte in Burgundy. A region on a human scale that balances nature and culture, heritage and great wines. Four departments, four facets of Burgundy: In Côte d'Or, follow the route des grands crus for a delicious journey between Dijon and Beaune. The Canal de Bourgogne is dotted with gems such as Alesia and the Abbaye de Fontenay. Visit the National Forest Park, which encompasses the Route du Crémant and the Trésor de Vix. In Saône-et-Loire, contrasting landscapes await you: waterways and hedged farmland, exceptional vineyards between Beaujolais, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, the Saône valley and the Bresse plain. Climb the astonishing Solutré rock and enjoy the view. Take the castles route or visit the famous Cluny Abbey during your week's holiday. The best-known châteaux in Saône-et-Loire are Château de Berze, Château de la Verrerie and Château de Saint-Aubin Sur Loire. In the Yonne, book a gîte on the clevacances.com and, during your holiday, come and admire the most visited site in Burgundy: the Basilica of Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the vineyards of Chablis or take a trip back in time at Guédelon. Two canals share the limelight in the Yonne: the Canal du Nivernais and the Canal de Bourgogne. These canals allow you to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities. In the Nièvre region, art lovers will love the city of Nevers, its earthenware and its Ducal Palace. History buffs, meanwhile, will head to La Charité-sur-Loire, city of the word. Epicureans will be tempted to discover the famous Pouilly vineyards. Take a boat trip on the Canal du Nivernais, cycle along the banks of the Loire or explore the heart of Morvan, where water is everywhere. Book one of the Clévacances gîtes in Nièvre and swim in Lac des Settons with your friends or family, or indulge in an energising moment at the spa of Saint-Honoré-les-Bains.
