With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Beaune, 30 miles away, has to offer. Chateau de Pommard, Savigny-les-Beaune Castle and Burgundy Wine Museum alone justify the drive. Chalon-sur-Saone is another terrific option. It’s 35 miles away and home to tons of fun things to do. Abbaye de la Ferte, Musee Denon and Chalon Cathedral are only the start.
