Discover Burgundy Wine Country

The climate in Burgundy varies according to the latitude, with the southern region being slightly warmer. Burgundy experiences sporadic rainfalls and warm sunny days in autumn. The best time to visit Burgundy is between May and October, so it would be wise to book your holiday property rentals in Burgundy during this season.

It can also be reached by the TGV train from Paris in less than 2 hours. Burgundy also has an excellent road and public transport system.
