Discover Savigny-Lès-Beaune

When looking for a hotel in Savigny-Lès-Beaune, your travel interests can make all the difference: architectural history, an aircraft collection in the château park, wine visits and different trails offer a range of options. There are also two puzzle trails. Activities range from a visit to a wine estate to a signposted circular walk and routes for pedestrians and cyclists. Considering these differences can help you tailor your stay to your travel plans.

Church and Château: Architectural History and Collection

The Romanesque bell tower of Saint-Cassien parish church dates from the second half of the 12th century. The church was listed as a Monument historique in 1925 and classified as a Monument historique in 1930. These dates reflect two aspects of its history: the bell tower points to its period of construction, while the listing and classification reflect its heritage protection status.

The Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune was built in 1340 by Jean de Frolois for Duke Eudes IV of Burgundy. Almost 100 military aircraft from around the world are displayed in the château park. These include four aircraft from the Patrouille de France, 11 MiGs and 17 Dassault aircraft. In addition to the total, the collection therefore includes several groups with specific numbers. An admission ticket to the Château includes access to the château, its collections and the park. Check the current access conditions before your visit.

Wine Visits at Domaine du Prieuré

Domaine du Prieuré welcomes visitors to the estate year-round to discover its wines and different vintages. Booking an appointment is recommended. For groups of more than 30 people, the Domaine offers a leisurely walk through the vineyards. Along the way, visitors learn about the terroir and vineyard work; arrangements must be made in advance. Group size and the need to organise the visit ahead of time are therefore important points to consider when planning.

Walks and Trails Through Varied Landscapes

The “Si Savigny m’était conté” route is a signposted circular walk with 15 stops through the village lanes. Its route and number of stops give the visit a clear structure. The Voie des Vignes explicitly names pedestrians and cyclists as its users; its section between Beaune and Dijon passes through Savigny-lès-Beaune.

The landscape descriptions of the Chemins also differ: the Chemin des Bois runs between woodland and the Rhoin stream, while the Chemin des Vignes runs between woodland and vineyards. Both have woodland in common; one also features the stream, the other the vineyards. Further afield in the region, the Rhoin runs along the valley from the cliffs of Bouilland to Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Puzzle Trails: A Different Way to Explore

The Parcours ludiques offer two family-oriented puzzle trails following in the footsteps of the Duchesse du Maine and Capitaine d’Astille. This sets them apart in format from the signposted walk through the lanes: here, the focus is on two mysteries featuring named characters. If you are choosing between a route with set stops and puzzle activities, you can take into account which style of exploration better suits your travel plans.
