Camping La Grappe d'Or

This is Burgundy, so it should come as no surprise that there are plenty of thriving wineries here. ..Luckily, there’s no need for a designated driver when you stay at Grappe d’Or – you can go for tastings at more than a dozen vineyards and cellars in Meursault, all within 25 minutes’ walk of the site. Once you’re able to get behind the wheel again, there are lots of non-vino related things to do around Grappe d’Or: in Beaune 15 minutes away, start with the stunning Hospices de Beaune – a 15th-century Gothic style almshouse that's been turned into a museum. Beaune is also famous for mustard, so make sure to sample some while you’re there... The locals say it livens up every dish, but you might want to find out for yourself – head to La Moutarderie Fallot for a museum tour, a sensory tour and, of course, a tasting. For a different flavour of Burgundy – a historic one – there are loads of stately mansions and architectural gems within an hour of the site: the spectacular Château de la Rochepot, Château de Cormatin and the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy are particular must-sees. If you’re in search of a city day out, the museums, galleries, restaurants, theatres and sights of Paris are two and a half hours from Beaune by train.
