Tournus - Town on the right bank of the Saône River, ideal starting point for discovering Southern Burgundy.

Route du vin - As with the Route du vin d'Alsace make sure you get a map from the nearest tourist office, so as not to get lost. The town of Chardonnay is on the way, I thought it was kind of cool going to the town where Chardonnay wines get their name. If you want to do wine tasting, look for signs with the word "Dégustation", your being invited in to taste wine. Also look for "Caves", they are wine stores that will have lots of different local wines with a good selection. My brother has a small winery, Domaine de l'Echelette, near the town of La Chapelle sous Brancion.
