North/South between Dijon and Beaune
There are many wine producers between these cities. During the grape harvest (les vendanges) this area comes alive. Hitchhiking between the villages on route D974 is easy and the locals are friendly and curious about hitchhikers and travellers. The route also passes through the centre of the charming but somewhat bourgeois town of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
