Bonjour! 

This is a private tour in Burgundy, France, for friends and family of Corinne Meyer.

We will stay in the heart of wine country in this rich region, much-celebrated for its world-class wines and cuisine. All guests and Jenn & Bernard will stay in a beautiful villa in the exquisite town of Beaune, where we'll enjoy daily breakfasts, at least one dinner, and a cooking class taught by a local French chef. Independent meals could also be enjoyed at the villa.

Each day we'll tour the area either on foot with a walking tour in Beaune and nearby villages, on bike, as we peddle through the vineyards along the "Route des Grands Cru" or in our van, as we venture further afield to Dijon and other important towns in the region, where we'll visit historical and cultural sites, shop at outdoor markets, and sample the local wines and gastronomy. 

This is an active tour, including daily walks (about 3 miles per day), some biking, a possible hike, and optional yoga, when time allows. 

Included in the tour price: Accommodations, excursions, 4 dinners, 6 lunches, wine with meals (about 2 glasses pp), cooking class, transportation during the tour and to/from train station in Dijon on first and last days of the tour. 

Not included: Airfare from US, round-trip train between Paris and Dijon, any activities, meals or drinks enjoyed separately from the group, and travel insurance.
