Will be spending two weeks with my parents in Burgundy in the fall.

Any suggestions on quirky sites, unique museums, tiny towns, small restaurants and/or wineries?

Any thing that might not be in the guide books ... although feel free to recommend anything you like

Thanx!

Not quirky but don't miss wine tasting at the marches aux vins in Beaune:

Do you like to cycle? I think that one of my most memorable experiences in Burgundy is cycling through the vineyards, from Beaune to Santenay.

I'm a huge fan of Colette, the writer. In her village, Saint Sauveur-en-Puisaye is a museum dedicated to her in the castle.
You can see her personal items, the bed-ridden desk she worked on. Each step going up us a title of her books.
There a room upstairs that shows films adapted from her
books. A tea room and small book selection is also there.
Nearby In Avallon by a stream, I always staid at the Moulon du Ruats. The only place, MFK Fisher and later me, had the true Bleu Truite.

Only been to that area once, but here is a little info. www.burgundyeye.com and www.burgundy-tourism.com

Burgundy is such a wonderful area with so much to offer. Some of my favorite lesser known places are Chateau Guedelon where they are building a castle using medieval methods (www.guedelon.fr ) and Vauban's home in Bazoches (www.chateau-bazoches.com). If you go to Vezelay (and you should), you can visit Les Fontaines Salées, salt fountains dating from 2300 B.C. ( www.saint-pere.fr/saint-pere-tourisme.htm) and the marvelous L’église Notre Dame Saint-Père
(http://www.saint-pere.fr/tourisme/sa...notre-dame.htm). have a great trip!
