Private Auxois Villages from Dijon
Discover the storybook villages of the Auxois region on a private day trip from Dijon, travelling in comfort with your own English‑speaking guide. Your itinerary focuses on three of Burgundy’s most picturesque hilltop towns, with plenty of time in each place to wander, take photos and enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace.

Flavigny‑sur‑Ozerain – Plus Beau Village
Your first stop is Flavigny‑sur‑Ozerain, officially listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” Stroll its cobbled lanes lined with stone houses, discover the Benedictine abbey and the famous Anis de Flavigny candy heritage, and see why this perched village has even starred as the setting for the film “Chocolat.”

Semur‑en‑Auxois – Medieval Stronghold
Continue to Semur‑en‑Auxois, a dramatic medieval town set on a pink‑granite promontory above the Armançon River. Walk past Gothic towers, ramparts and the collegiate church, and enjoy sweeping views from the old walls that still protect the historic center. Your guide shares stories of festivals, battles and daily life that bring the town’s centuries‑old streets to life.

Châteauneuf‑en‑Auxois – Hilltop Fortress Village
The day ends in Châteauneuf‑en‑Auxois, another officially classified “Most Beautiful Village of France,” wrapped around its imposing 15th‑century fortress. From this hilltop, admire wide views over the Auxois plain and Burgundy Canal, explore stone houses and alleys, and, if you wish, visit the château to learn more about Burgundy’s ducal history.

A Relaxed, Tailor‑Made Day
Across roughly nine hours, your guide adapts the pace to your interests, whether that is history, architecture, photography or simply soaking up village cafés and viewpoints. With hotel pickup and drop‑off in Dijon included, you can sit back and enjoy one of Burgundy’s most charming rural landscapes without worrying about driving or navigation.
