Kids-friendly tours around Beaune to explore the region with your family
Our must-haves for young and old
Have you been to see Rosalie and Ferdinand yet? Even though your little ones will probably find it hard to leave them, they’ll be just as happy to follow you on your adventures to explore the area around Les Cabottes, as there are plenty of kid-friendly activities to do with them. In fact, Burgundy has no shortage of beautiful treasures that should pique the curiosity of every member of the tribe. To help you find your way around, here’s a short but not exhaustive list of our favourite activities to share:
1/ The Château de Savigny-les-Beaune and its impressive and eccentric collections of cars, aeroplanes, fire engines and other historic vehicles, all set in breathtaking surroundings. You can buy the estate’s wines to round off your visit in style.

A 35-minute drive from Les Cabottes
2/ The Fallot mustard factory in Beaune to awaken your taste buds and understand how the transformation of a small seed can lead to one of the best mustards in the world. You can also stock up on piquant sweets in the shop.

25 minutes by car from Les Cabottes, about 2 hours by electric bike.
3/ Le vélorail du Morvan in Cordesse to discover the beauty of green Burgundy (yes, it’s not all vineyards!) with its endless forest landscapes and the smell of undergrowth that tickles your nose as the carriage flies through the air. Note that the velorail can hold a maximum of 4 people – 2 pedalling and 2 sitting behind – so it’s up to you to choose the right team!

Just 25 minutes from Les Cabottes, with a chance to visit the pretty town of Autun in the process.
4/ The cassissium at Nuits-Saint-Georges to find out all about this little berry so present in Burgundy (in kir, of course, but not only). A particularly educational and interactive visit to immerse young and old alike in the world of blackcurrants. Cocktail workshops are held every first Friday of the month (although this is more for adults than children, as you’ll have gathered).

38 minutes’ drive from Les Cabottes
5/ Acro Givry, where your little ones can let off steam in the enchanting setting of this pretty forest on the Côte Chalonnaise. Between April and September, Burgundy’s biggest adventure park welcomes you with its 30 courses, suitable for all ages. We haven’t tried it out yet, but all our little neighbours are fans! And for the less adventurous, there’s also a mini golf course in the shade of the hundred-year-old oak trees.
