I'm planning a trip to Burgundy, France next year (late April/early May), likely to be ~5 days or so. I'm tentatively thinking of staying in Beaune. I'm a big wine fan - the main reason for the trip - but of course am also interested in the culture there.

Is it necessary to have a car to sight see in Burgundy or is there convenient public transport available in the area?

thanks in advance for your advice!

You will need a car.

Take the TGV to Dijon and pick your car up there, near the train station.

Ok, that's kind of what I thought...thanks for the responses.

you will definitely need a car to explore the wine area. We stayed at a wonderful B&B halfway between Beaune and Dijon. The owner was an expert on the wine country and helped us plan our trips each day. If you are interested I will try and find the name and address.

Please email the name of the B&B thanks, Anne

Yep - get a car. "no brainer". The car rental place we passed most days for 2 weeks, wasn't that close to the train station, however. Maybe there are several rental places in Beaune.
