For a drive between Dijon and Avignon next month, we'd like to overnight in both Beaune and Lyon. If you have discovered a small gem in these two areas, I'd appreciate a recommendation. Thanks!

We had a wonderful time at L'Octroi Saint-Jacques in Beaune. Here is a link to my trip report: Trip Report: A Culinary Adventure Through Burgundy

One of the (if not the) best b&bs we've ever stayed was Les Jardins de Loïs in Beaune.

From my report..."It's a large house encompassing four rooms and overlooking an expansive enclosed garden (perfect for afternoon wine sipping). The location could not be beat (only five minutes to the Hospices and ten minutes to all our restaurant choices). It had a large bathroom with a glorious walk-in shower (no death shower here). Our host, Phillipe (he and his wife, Anne-Marie, are the owners of this wonderful property), explained that he has traveled a lot, and he finds it tiring to wake up and having to hassle with an undersized shower." Great breakfast, too. Highly recommended.

northfork280 - Thanks for your response and for pointing me to your wonderful trip report. It sounds like you had a great time and the area is truly enchanting. I will definitely check out the B&B that you stayed in.

Ooh, it looks so nice. Thank you for the (illustrated) recommendation.

Maitaitom - thanks for your suggestion and for your photos. It's helping us plan our time in Beaune.
