We will be in Paris for several days in May and wondered if there's a bus tour to the wine country we could take from and return to Paris. Is the wine country close enough to make it in a one-day trip?

We were in PAris in Sept and took a train to Dijon and hopped on a connecting train to Beaune. There are several wine tasting's in the old caves. It is a quint little village. I didn't personally enjoy the wine, but many other peole seemed to enjoy it. Great day trip! We spent about 2 hours in Dijon and were home for dinner on Paris!

there is some wine country that is close enough for a day trip, in Burgundy. Aside from Beaune, you can get to Chablis area in a few hours, although that's not as easy without a car as they don't have a train station. I posted some URLs on this subject in reply to a Post on here sometime in past couple of years. I think I recommended www.chablis.net and www.ot-beaune.fr and www.ot-auxerre.fr (Auxerre is the closest city to Chablis with a train station, it's only about 5-10 mi, so an easy cab ride, I think). There is also the regional tourism office http://www.bourgogne-tourisme.com/ You could probably find prior post be searching on "chablis" or "auxerre"

oh, I forgot to say even though this seems a natural, I don't think any of the well-known bus tour companies do a tour of the nearby wine country (ie, Parisvision or Cityrama) You'd think it would be popular.

Alice,<BR>If you are thinking about Burgandy, there is an American Ex-pat that runs a local tour company. <BR><BR>We found her site on the internet and went on a very interesting day tour a few years ago. (She met us in Dijon.) I believe her company is called "Wine and Voyages." <BR><BR>If she can't help you, she can certainly direct you to the right place.<BR><BR>Good luck!

Forgot to mention that we did it as a day trip from Paris. We took the TGV, roundtrip, to Dijon.<BR><BR>
