Beautiful Burgundy... relax there by rail

Burgundy is one of the most charming regions in France – and the best way to get there for most UK travellers is by modern, high-speed rail. So, Burgundy Tourism and Rail Europe have decided to dedicate a website to the delights of the region, and the benefits of getting there by rail.

Why head to Burgundy?

A passion for wine.
There are no fewer than 282 wineries that can proudly state that they produce true Burgundy wine. Visitors can immerse themselves in the eponymous produce of the region – with wine tours, tasting sessions, overnight stays and gourmet meals.

Why go by rail?

Let the train take the strain
Rail travel in France is different to rail travel in the UK. France has a sophisticated high-speed network with efficient, modern and comfortable trains. In just a few hours from London or Ebbsfleet, you can be stepping onto the platform in the heart of Burgundy.

High speed, low stress
When you take the train, your holiday starts as soon as you step onto the train. With lots more room, less hassle checking-in and a much better view, it beats flying hands down. And, as Burgundy is some distance from the nearest regional airport, not only is it a better experience than flying, door to door it’s quicker too.
