A simple walk through the city showcases Beaune's position as one of Burgandy's biggest and most influential wine centers. Wine producers offer tours throughout the city and the surrounding vineyards that are temptation traps for wine lovers who enjoy learning more about their favorite vintages.

Besides wine rooms and vineyards, Beaune has a wealth of medieval monuments and cute churches dating back to the 13th and 15th centuries, including the iconic Hospices de Beaune. Then there are the renowned restaurants serving decadent Burgundian dishes. All you need to do is research a few of the food critic reviews of the restaurants found in Beaune, and you'll see that we aren't lying. Ultimately, with its combination of culinary delights, cultural heritage, historical significance, and exceptional wine, it's a compelling destination for all travelers looking to experience the very best of Burgundy.

That's why, regardless of whether you're renting a car, traveling by bus or train, or using a private car service like Daytrip, you should carry cash to pay for any purchases you might have along the way. Not only will this ensure you get to buy the souvenirs or snacks you have your eye on, but you'll also avoid the often sky-high minimum spends for those paying with cards.

Driving yourself can be expensive

Driving yourself from Lyos to France can be tempting but we urge against this idea as it can be incredibly expensive. This is especially true if you plan on driving on motorways where you'll encounter exorbitant toll road fees that cost the same if not more than your fuel.

So, when traveling the distance of 96 miles (156 km) from Lyon to Beaune it's often best to choose an alternative and cheaper form of transportation like Daytrip or the bus or train depending on your travel preferences.

Learn to navigate the varying opening hours

When traveling through France, you'll need to navigate the varying opening hours of stores and attractions, especially when traveling from Lyons to Beaune, which are not the biggest cities in the country. For example, post offices close at lunchtime regardless of the day of the week, and attractions and shops in rural or smaller towns are often closed between Sunday and Tuesday.

Not to mention that seasonal opening times are also a thing in France, with many restaurants, accommodations, and attractions having more limited hours or closing entirely outside of the travel season. So keep this in mind when planning your trip.

The most popular bus booked is Flixbus, with a bus leaving every four hours and the cheapest tickets on offer. There is also SNCF, with buses leaving every hour, and BlaBlaCar Bus, with slightly pricier tickets and a more questionable reputation.

From Lyon to Beaune by train

The direct train is slightly faster than a bus trip, and they have nicer onboard amenities. However, like the bus, there are no sightseeing stops to indulge your curiosities. The train lines offering trips include SNFC and TGV inOui, with the latter offering trips twice daily and the former every hour.

Since both train lines offer direct trips, it only takes about an hour and 40 minutes to get from Lyon to Beaune, but ticket prices can vary vastly depending on when you travel, with prices as low as $29 or as high as $70.

Besides its architectural appeal, the museum offers an audio guide for those who walk through its doors. The guide will tell you its history from the 15th century to the present day, and you'll get to see the reconstructed hospice treatment area, which gives you a glimpse into what life was like and why the institution was so important.

Parc de la Bouzaize

Those who want to spend time outdoors in Beaune and enjoy the scenery should plan a picnic at Parc de la Bouzaize. This park is one of the most beautiful in the city, home to ancient trees, green grass, and a series of ponds, streams, and river tributaries adding to its serene atmosphere.

If you're visiting during the summer, pack a swimsuit to cool off in one of the inviting bodies of water while you take in the whimsical nature surrounding you.

Musée du Vin - Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne

The Musée du Vin—Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne is one of the best places to visit if you love wine and art. This museum, founded by the Former Dukes of Burgundy, the Ducs de Bourgogne, has a healthy collection of both. When you visit, you'll be treated to displays of wines from Champagne and Burgundy in various rooms, along with numerous grand paintings that captivate the eye and weasel their way into your memory.

Yet, you can also visit during the summer in June and August when the weather is even better, but you'll need to contend with large crowds and pricey accommodation, but it might be worth it for all you can see and do.

If you don't mind clouds and cooler temperatures, you can visit during the winter, when the city becomes a winter wonderland. On cold winter mornings, you can wander through alleyways as the fog sweeps across the land, tentatively sipping your hot chocolate and taking a bite out of an authentic French pastry.
