One of the most useful things we bought for the boat were our fold up bikes. We have done miles and miles on them. Having arrived in Dijon after a days cruising, and having already been to Dijon on a previous trip, we weren't pulled towards the centre of town but in the direction of Chenove, where the Rue de Grand Crus - the famous Burgundy wine route begins. The first sign for this is near the memorial at the port.

| Just follow the Rue de Chenove. Route de Grand Crus. Marsenay church tower in the distance. |
Once on this route by bike, you need to look out for a way to your right (or west) as you want to find the tiny lanes through the vines rather than the car routes - it's not hard if you keep your eyes peeled and head right once the built up area begins to peter out. Keep a tourist map with you and you won't go far wrong.

We enjoyed a sunny evening cycle - the clocks changed last weekend so the evenings are longer and at last the sun has come out. Got as far as Marsennay la Cote 8 km from Dijon.
