Itinerary
Day 1
The Burgundy region offers a natural heritage, rich in both history and specialty in art. Since ancient times, its geographical position mad
it a crossroads for communications between "The Mediterranean and Northern Europe" which brought great prosperity as its famous
wines magnified during the Middle Ages. Region of famous abbeys, departure point for the crusades and pilgrimage centre, Burgundy
has attracted the crowds and political figureheads throughout the centuries.
ITINERARY:
We take the Southern highway and reach the Serein valley at Chablis, surrounded by vineyards: visit to a local cellar and taste the white
wine, one of the world's best. Lunch at the "Bistrot des Grands Crus" (or similar). We continue to Vezelay, "the eternal hill" village
classified by Unesco as one of its cultural world heritage sites: guided visit of the basilica dedicated to Saint Mary-Madeleine, centre of
Romanesque architecture and sculpture. Then enjoy free time to browse around the village and maybe to taste some other Burgundy
wines before returning to Paris.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
