Structured Independence in B&R Style
None of our scheduled dates fit your schedule? Like the idea of taking the reins yourself? Love your independence but don’t want to be totally on your own? A B&R self-guided walking trip is just the ticket. It combines the hallmarks of any B&R itinerary—excellent hotels and beautiful walking routes—with the freedom of pacing each day exactly the way you like. We arrange some can’t-miss meals and events, transfer your bags and equip you with all the information you’ll need to craft the trip you desire. A morning at the market, or an extra trail loop; sandwiches from a boulangerie or a gourmet lunch; a walking tour of historic Beaune or relaxing on a terrasse; the choices are yours.
- Also consider Burgundy Self-Guided Biking. A self-guided tour through the vineyards and towns of Burgundy but with all the planning and inside access B&R is famous for.
Day 1 Explore the Côte de Nuits, the northern half of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s finest wine tract
Day 2 Walking routes wend along quiet vineyard roads, passing through villages that lend their names to renowned bottles, such as Vougeot and Aloxe
Day 3 At the end of the day our friend Sherry will lead you on a short historical walk through the cobbled streets of Beaune, culminating at the Hospices, whose quiet cloister and tiled roof are Burgundian icons
Day 4 Enjoy a private, expert-led wine tasting in a traditional cave (cellar) in the town centre
Day 5 Indulge in a Michelin-starred dinner at your Relais & Châteaux hotel—an ideal setting to toast your week in beautiful Burgundy
Day 6 A private shuttle timed for your convenience brings you to the Dijon train station for high-speed connections to Paris, Lyon or Geneva. Au revoir!

Château André Ziltener, Chambolle-Musigny
Set amid the vines in tiny Chambolle-Musigny, the intimate yet luxurious 18thC Château André Ziltener opened as a hotel in 1993. Tastefully decorated and surrounded by a peaceful garden, the hotel has only 10 rooms--meaning that the service is excellent and we usually have the place all to ourselves.

Hôtel Le Cep, Beaune
A collection of noble townhouses dating from the Middle Ages, Hôtel Le Cep is ideally located within steps of the shops and restaurants in the historic centre of Beaune. The courtyard is a great spot to unwind over a glass of wine, and the tower staircase leads to an incredible view over the city’s medieval rooftops. Le Cep also has earned the distinction of being the hotel with which B&R has worked the longest.

Abbaye de la Bussière, La Bussière-sur-Ouche
Purchased by the Cummings family in 2005, this “new” boutique hotel is in fact a medieval castle that was once a Cistercian monastery and later a hunting lodge. Now the country-house hotel offers luxurious accommodations within an 18-acre park. The château was entirely refurbished prior to its opening, and joined Relais & Châteaux in 2007--the same year Olivier Elzer, the young talented chef of the property’s restaurant, earned his first Michelin star.

Easygoing to Moderate
This trip is rated Easygoing to Moderate. For the most part, you’ll walk on gently rolling terrain, although there is the occasional steep climb or descent to take on. As the terrain can be rocky, footwear with good ankle support is essential. On average, we walk 10-13 km daily, with longer options available on some days.
