Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
July 11, 2007 - 4.0

A really nice road, lots of medium bends, few nasty surprises. one of those roads where you get in to a nice rhythm, not a wide open race track but very interesting. A good way to get across the top of Dijon without going in to the city, pick up the Mway north east of the city.

D928 : Châtillon Sur Seine - Pierrefontaines
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
June 9, 2008 - 4.0

If you want to avoid some french motorway riding on the A5 and A31, then this road will not only avoid the toll booths but it will give you a gem of a road. I rode from Troyes, south on the N71, which was great, and turned off at Chatillon sur Seine and found this little beauty.It starts out as the ...

Flowing and quite fast road through the countryside.

D977 / N151 : Auxerre - Nevers
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
October 30, 2005 - 3.5

Take the D977 from Nevers to Varzy, then the N151 between Varzy and Auxerre. A fast sweeping road, scenery not spectacular but a road you can cover ground quickly without getting bored. Watch for a couple of speed cameras, one at either end of this route.

D978 : Autun - Chateau Chinon
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
December 1, 2005 - 3.5

This is a good section of road with wide sweeping bends and few surprises, though watch out for one bend with white lines across the carriageway, especially in the wet. It can get a bit busy, I've even been stuck behind a boat transporter! You can stop at Chateau Chinon or continue. Beware the surfa...

D978 Nevers - Chateau Chinon
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
February 28, 2009 - 4.0

A nice flowing east/west route through the Bourgogne countryside, part of a good touring route linking the Loire and Rhone Valleys. Good surface with large sections resurfaced summer 2008, good visibility and pleasant views.
The best section is the last 2-3km approaching Chateau Chinon. An u...

D980 : Montceau-Les-Mines - Cluny (NW of Macon)
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
December 7, 2009 - 4.0

A hidden gem and a great way to get cross country without using the Mway. Lots of fast sweeping bends, great visibility and hardly any traffic. Watch out for dead snakes in the road, slippery little beggars!

Charming rural trip through Haut Beaujolais

N71 : Troyes - Dijon
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
October 30, 2005 - 3.4

A good fast road, plenty of sweeping bends, couple of deceptive hairpins. A good way to get cross country without using the motorway Stay on the N71 for speed, take the D901 for a more scenic route with more corners, both good roads

N81 / D981 : Nevers - Autun
Bourgogne (Burgundy) ..., France
February 28, 2009 - 2.5

A good east/west route between the Loire and Rhone valleys. Once out of Nevers and through Imphy (bypass under construction summer 08), the road opens out into an average rural French D road to Decize. Stop in Decize for refreshments by the canal or either of the 2 rivers (Aron & Loire). Your best ...
