Paris travellers who want a short trip with little time on the road. Explorers who like quieter vineyards than the Côte d'Or. History lovers: Germolles was a duchess's country palace. Business and private flights to Chalon-Champforgeuil, 7 km north of Chalon-sur-Saône (the airfield plan). ### Why arrive at Le Creusot TGV? It is about 1 h 20 from Paris by direct TGV but has no train on to Beaune: your driver covers the last 63 km, with the Côte Chalonnaise on the way. ### Why by the hour in the full plan? The second day ends at Le Creusot TGV with your luggage on board rather than at your hotel, so the driver is booked by the hour, for the hours you need. ### Which wines does the Côte Chalonnaise make? Mercurey, Givry and Rully make red and white Burgundy, Montagny white only, and Bouzeron its Aligoté. ## Other trips - [The Mâconnais: Pouilly-Fuissé and the Roche de Solutré](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/maconnais-pouilly-fuisse-3-days): 3 days · Southern Burgundy · from €1,340 per car - [A weekend in Burgundy from Paris](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/weekend-in-burgundy-from-paris): 2 days · Weekends and crossings · from €360 per car - [A day trip to the Burgundy vineyards from Lyon](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/wine-day-from-lyon): 1 day · First wine trip · from €290 per car - [All multi-day trips](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages) --- Canonical page:
