Rail
The TGV network provides fast (Paris-Dijon: 1hr 40 min.) and frequent access to several towns in Burgundy (Dijon, Montbard, Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saône, Le Creusot/Montchanin/Montceau-les-Mines and Mâcon-Loché). All these stations provide connections with the main tourist locations in the region.
There are also direct connections between Dijon and Disneyland-Paris, Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport and Lille (with connections via Eurostar for London and via Thalys for Brussels).
There are also TGV connections with Switzerland (Zurich, Bern, Lausanne and Geneva). Since June 2001, new direct TGV connections have been introduced with the south of France: (Marseille/Montpellier-Dijon: 3 hours).
All these lines are complemented by regular connections serving Burgundy from the major French and European stations.
On top of this, the regional (TER) network, with its numerous comfortable and fast trains, is an easy (and ecological) way to explore Burgundy.
