Burgundy
Burgundy's landscape is curvaceous, swelling with the fertility that gives rise to its world-reknowned wine. Covered with intermittent patches of hills, lakes, forests, vineyards, and the occasional cow clinging to 30° inclines, this region attracts more moseyers than city slickers. In Burgundy, people have their noses shoved deep into wine glasses, not high into the stratosphere. Head to Dijon to set up camp--and do a little mustard-tasting--before tackling the winery circuit in towns south of the city. If nature is what you're seeking, there's the 3,500-square-km Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan (Morvan Regional Park), with 1,001 ways to work yourself into a sweaty delirium.
