Authentic gites and self-catering accommodation

A gîte in Burgundy offers complete autonomy: private kitchen, spacious living room and several bedrooms depending on the number of guests. It’s ideal for a stay with family or friends, in the heart of Burgundy’s Route des Grands Crus. The more intimate chambre d’hôte offers direct contact with guests and a table d’hôte. Both options reflect the Burgundian art of living, but the gîte gives you more freedom to organise your days around the region’s tourist attractions.

The price of a night depends on the type of accommodation: a gîte for 2 to 4 people averages between €90 and €160. A charming bed and breakfast, often with the “Gîtes de France” label and classified as a “épis”, generally costs between €95 and €180 a night. In other, more popular areas, prices can go up depending on the level of comfort, the presence of a spa or the location in the heart of the vineyards.

The most sought-after addresses are often located along the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, between Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Pommard, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. You’ll find double rooms in stone buildings, gîtes adjoining wine estates, and guest houses set in former family estates. These emblematic villages, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Climats region, are home to a number of accommodation establishments renowned for their authenticity, tranquillity and warm welcome.

The quality of the rooms, the welcome given to guests, the presence of a convivial room, the location and access to tourist attractions are all essential. Guest houses that are committed to sustainable tourism or have the “Gîtes de France” label are often a real guarantee of reliability. Gîtes located in the heart of Burgundy, near the Climats, are also prized for their atmosphere and authenticity.

A number of châteaux located along the Burgundy Grands Crus Route, notably between Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Pommard and Meursault, open their doors to travellers in restored rooms or gîtes converted from former outbuildings. These often feature a vaulted room, enclosed gardens and sometimes a table d’hôtes. In these emblematic vineyard villages, these estates offer an elegant setting for a night or a longer stay.

Three nights already offer a good overview of Burgundy’s Route des Grands Crus: one day to explore the vineyards and estates between Dijon, Marsannay-la-Côte, Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin. Another to explore the emblematic villages of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, including Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Beaune, Pommard, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Then there’s a final week to enjoy a natural interlude in the surrounding countryside. For a more complete discovery, a week is ideal, especially if you want to alternate cultural visits, charming guest houses, wine-tasting and moments of relaxation in the gîte.

The gîtes located directly on the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, between Marsannay-la-Côte, Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges, easily accommodate travellers wishing to discover the vineyards. The hosts will be happy to recommend a château, a winery or a committed producer, and will also point them in the direction of a number of nature trails on the edge of the vineyards. After a tasting session, the gîte’s living room or terrace is the ideal place to prolong the experience in complete tranquillity.

The table d’hôte is still the heart of every guest house: local cuisine, home-grown produce and a friendly atmosphere. In the villages along the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis or Meursault, the restaurants are the perfect complement to the range of restaurants on offer, providing an opportunity to discover Burgundy’s gastronomic delights. Travellers staying in gîtes can make the most of their fully-equipped kitchens to prepare produce bought from a wine grower or at a nearby market.

Everything is within easy reach on the Burgundy Grands Crus Route. Ten to thirty minutes is all it takes to go from Marsannay-la-Côte to Fixin, or from Chambolle-Musigny to Beaune.

The region complements its traditional gîtes and guest houses with some unusual accommodation on the edge of the vineyards: cabins, trailers, tiny houses or cottages integrated into wine estates. These addresses, which are often nature-oriented, are part of a sustainable approach adopted by many guests.

The gîtes located on the edge of the vineyards, around Pernand-Vergelesses, Ladoix-Serrigny or Santenay, offer an ideal setting for a peaceful or wellness-oriented stay.

Before booking, we recommend that you read the gîte description in detail: capacity, bedroom layout, kitchen facilities, heated swimming pool (if any), quality of communal areas, parking, whether it is managed directly or via a label. The description should also specify the exact location, particularly if the gîte is in a wine-producing village such as Pommard, Volnay or Puligny-Montrachet.

The “heated pool + village charm + modern comforts” combination is one of the most sought-after offers for a stay on the Burgundy Grands Crus Route.
