BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU

The arrival of the world famous Beaujolais Nouveau is celebrated every year on the third Thursday of November. Why not enjoy a weekend city break to Lyon that embraces this special event. A day break in the Beaujolais starts with a visit to a number of picture-postcard villages, before taking a stroll through the streets of Villefranche-sur-Saône, the capital of the Beaujolais. Local wine growers, as well as other local producers line the High Street providing plenty of opportunities to sample the local specialities.
