Cycling in the heart of the Vaux Valley

From Givry, a charming wine-growing village in the Côte Chalonnaise, set off by bike to discover the magnificent Vallée des Vaux, a natural and wine-growing gem nestled between hills and forests. This 25 km circuit, with its varied terrain, will delight lovers of landscapes, wine, and authenticity. You will begin your getaway in Givry, renowned for its wine-growing and architectural heritage, before gently climbing towards Jambles, a small village surrounded by vineyards in an amphitheater. The route continues to Saint-Denis-de-Vaux, then Saint-Jean-de-Vaux, where the valley opens onto superb panoramas: it is here that the Chalonnaise nature reveals its full palette of greens and light, between stone walls, vines, and hedge-lined paths. In Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu, you'll follow a quiet and peaceful valley before reaching Mellecey, then Germolles, where the castle of the same name—residence of the Dukes of Burgundy—is an exceptional historical stopover. Then head to Dracy-le-Fort. These wine-producing villages offer a blend of rural heritage and a gentle way of life. The atmosphere is serene, the route often shaded, ideal for a break from time. The return to Givry is a gentle descent, with breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards. And to round off this beautiful loop, a stop is essential at Caveau Givry Vins, located on Place de la Poste: the perfect place to enjoy a glass of Givry in a friendly setting, on a terrace or in the warm atmosphere of the cellar. This circuit, combining nature, heritage, and culinary delights, perfectly embodies the spirit of Burgundy: generous, lively, and accessible. An ideal getaway for lovers of wine, cycling and beautiful landscapes.
