Not-to-be-missed sights in the surrounding area

Between its vineyards, its old stones, its natural parks and its pretty towns containing many treasures, we propose a non-exhaustive list of visits to make in the surroundings of Les Cabottes:

1/ The Hospices de Beaune, a veritable emblem of the town (and the region) thanks to its recognisable glazed tiles, its unique architecture inspired by that of Flanders (and its appearance in the classic film La Grande Vadrouille!).

A30-minute drive from Les Cabottes (and the road is splendid!)

2/ The Caves Patriarche in Beaune are a veritable oenological labyrinth, as they are the largest cellars in Burgundy. The tastings don’t have the charm of a small winegrower’s, but they do give you the chance to sample a wide variety of wines.

A 30-minute drive from Les Cabottes (and the road is still splendid!)

3/ La Karrière in Villars-Fontaine – the name says it all, as this former stone quarry has been converted into a venue for art, exhibitions and concerts. Like an open-air museum, a visit to la Karrière is unique and appeals to all ages.

40 minutes from Les Cabottes via the Route des Vins, which passes through some of the most beautiful wine-producing villages in the Côte de Nuits.

4/ Citeaux Abbey, for the architectural beauty of the site, which instantly transports you to another time, and the excellent educational guided tour. If you haven’t been there before, don’t forget to pop into the shop on your way out and take home the typical cheese made by the monks of the Abbey – we simply recommend that you ask to have it vacuum-packed 😉

A 48-minute drive from Les Cabottes

5/ Clos de Vougeot is an emblematic château in the vineyards. It’s a place of pilgrimage for all Burgundy wine lovers, with its elegant wines and splendid architecture. This is the perfect way to round off a day in the Côte de Nuits.

48 minutes by car from Les Cabottes

6/ Bibracte – Mont Beuvray – Between the museum that brings this ancient Gallic oppidum back to life and the archaeological site in the heart of nature where you can wander freely, this is another emblematic place to discover the beauty and history of the Morvan Regional Nature Park.
