Walks in Burgundy The app that puts the Côte-d'Or in your pocket

Who says you need a paper guide, a compass and three origami-folded maps to discover Burgundy’s Route des Grands Crus? With the free Balades en Bourgogne app, you can set off on a light-hearted adventure. A real Swiss Army knife for connected walkers, this app brings together almost 200 walks, cycle rides, mountain bike rides, car rides, horse rides… and even canoe trips.

Free, simple and above all 100% Burgundian, it’s your passport to exploring the Côte-d’Or in slow, gourmet, sporting or cultural mode. One click and you’re ready to go!

Walks in Burgundy The app that gets the Côte-d'Or talking

Balades en Bourgogne is the free mobile application that lets you experience the Burgundy Great Growth Route (and the Côte-d’Or) in a whole new way. A real pocket guide, it accompanies you on foot, by bike, by car or even by mountain bike as you explore vineyards, villages and UNESCO-listed landscapes. Downloadable from App Store and Google Play, the app offers audio-guided tours that combine heritage, nature and good food. Solo, with family or friends, it turns every outing into a real Burgundy road trip… without ever leaving your pocket.

A guide in your ear, freedom under your feet

The real bonus of the Balades en Bourgogne app? Its integrated audio guide. Gone are the days of well-behaved tours or half-read signposts: at each stage, a voice tells you the story of the places, the climats, the châteaux or the villages you pass through.

The result: you walk, cycle or drive, and your phone becomes your best travelling companion. No wifi in the countryside? No problem: once youve downloaded the content, the app works offline.

Walks to suit all tastes

Are you the Sunday sports type? A full-time epicurean? A history fan? Or simply curious? Don’t panic: there’s a walk to suit every mood.

In short, with Balades en Bourgogne, it’s impossible to go round in circles.

Focus

It’s impossible to talk about walking without mentioning the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne! The app has devoted a number of audio-guided tours to it, giving you a whole new experience:

La Route des Grands Crus: from Dijon to Santenay, the legendary route, also available in English.
Dans l’œil de Cédric Klapisch: a cinephile’s itinerary in Premeaux-Prissey.
La Route du Cassis de Côte-d’Or: from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Dijon (or the other way round!).
The Truffle Route: from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Dijon via Is-sur-Tille and as far as Châtillonnais.
La Nationale 6: the mythical holiday route, Côte-d’Or version.

These routes are another way to discover the vineyards, the villages, the Climats and the whole Burgundian art of living… with a touch of originality.
