What to expect
You'll start with a quick briefing on bike handling, then set off into the narrow medieval streets. The pace is gentle—this isn't a race, but a proper wander on wheels through Dijon's neighbourhoods. Expect to dismount occasionally at key sites whilst your guide explains what you're looking at. You'll pass active market stalls, roll alongside Lac Kir's calm water, and stop mid-ride for wine and confectionery. The route suits all fitness levels; mostly flat urban cycling with minimal traffic.
Good to know
