Dijon
Dijon, the historic capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, is known for its palace, its old town, its mustard and the famous vineyards of the Côte de Nuits just to the south. Visitors include business travellers, wine lovers and families. There is no direct train from Geneva, so a private car is often the most comfortable way to cover the distance in one go.

The route from Geneva Airport to Dijon
Your chauffeur crosses into France south of Geneva and takes the A40 motorway west, through the Jura foothills past Bellegarde and Nantua, with its tunnels and viaducts, to the plain of the Bresse near Bourg-en-Bresse. From there the A39 heads north through the countryside of the Bresse and the Saône valley, passing near Lons-le-Saunier and Dole, to Dijon. It is a long but easy motorway drive with regular service areas for a break.

Your driver takes you to the door of your hotel or as close as possible in the restricted zone.
