WIN - A trip to France with Eurotunnel
and lunch at the Abbaye de la BussiÈre.

Plan a trip to France this year courtesy of Eurotunnel. By far the easiest way to cross the Channel from the UK with your car, the journey between Folkestone and Calais takes 35 minutes – there are no worries about weather conditions and bumpy crossings either – it is a smooth journey all the way.

Then we suggest that you drive at leisure through the French countryside down the A6 motorway to the Côte d’Or. Close to the Canal de Bourgogne and the picture postcard medieval village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, lies the Abbaye de la Bussière, one of the finest country hotels in Burgundy. You will be a stone’s throw from the vibrant town of Dijon and the famous vineyards around Beaune.

English owned, the Abbaye de la Bussière has won accolades from all the top travel and restaurant guides, including a one star rating from Michelin for chef Olivier Elzer.

It is in these very special surroundings that you are invited to a gourmet lunch or dinner with wine for two to savour this young Chef’s innovative cuisine. The menus depend on the season but be assured that only the best and freshest produce is used, in tune with Burgundy’s fine gastronomic tradition. The meal will be teamed with wines from the region chosen for you by the Abbaye’s sommelier. What an introduction to your holiday.
