Fantastic Picnica weekend to savour the end of summer

Fantastic Picnic

Every year in early September, Burgundy-Franche-Comté puts the whole region on the table with the Fantastic Picnic. More than 30 events are organised simultaneously, each with its own atmosphere: intimate, festive, country-style or gastronomic.
In the Côte-d’Or, the event takes on a unique dimension: picnicking in the heart of the landscapes of the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, surrounded by wine-producing villages, UNESCO-listed Climats wines and local flavours. It’s an opportunity to make the most of the last days of summer in a breathtaking setting.
