We toured Chablis with Franck - he’s an amazing guide. Many of the wineries were closed because it was a Sunday, but he was able to arrange a full afternoon of tastings - he’s so trusted that wineries give him the keys to their tasting rooms so you get a private tasting even when closed! We tasted 10+ wines at 3 different wineries that were each very unique and provided a great overview to the wine of Chablis. Franck was able to get us from our hotel and drop us off again after - super convenient and a highlight of our trip.

Took the tour of the museum, here in this small and charming town. The building is well preserved, stunning, painted roof tiles, a lovely courtyard and replicas of the hospice inside the museum. Very interesting how people were cared for, after a war, the sleeping areas, medical treatment and kitchen can all be seen in the museum.

Visited the Cathedral in October 2019 whilst on a tour of the area. Auxerre is a very historic town and well worth stopping in and walking around. The Cathedral is situated high above the river and dominates the skyline. The detailed masonary is worth looking at as is the Crypt.

We came o Dijon on a rainy day and instead of soaking wet wandering is streets went to Beaune and returned to Dijon in the afternoon right after the rain stopped. Although most sites were either closed or closing we still enjoyed the Owl's walk and most of the old town. It took us about 5 hours.

Reviewed By Hatton20 - London, United Kingdom
This is one of several citadelles designed by the mighty Vauban, military architect extraordinaire to Louis XIV and considered his masterpiece and the most beautiful. It is illuminated at night but check times as the lights are turned off quite early. There are 3 museums in the Citadelle which can be reached by a bus at Chamars or small train from the centre of Besancon. You can easily spend a whole day there. Take a picnic if weather is lovely. The Resistance Museum and Regional Museum (Musée Comtois) are inside the walls. The walk around the ramparts is stunning and gives a wonderful view of this stunning city on the Doubs which is in a loop in the river.

We were 6 adults, 3 children of 3 years old and a baby. We took a full pass to all activities in the parc. Great combination of activities for both adults and children. There’s also a lot of space in all areas (we had a rather big stroller) and it’s very cool inside so good for hot summer days. Personell was really very friendly! The children also enjoyed it: the story of winery told in a playful way, all parts of the museum very interactive and attractive for children as well. Some parts are like an attraction parc, and we did not even have to pay for the children. The little train brings you to the garden, where there is also room for children to participate in the activities. We had a very pleasant day and were all very tired at the end of the day (you spend a whole day there). Food at noon was very good and not expensive at all. Also good facilities for children!
