Hiring a campervan in Dijon puts the Route des Grands Crus right on your doorstep: Gevrey-Chambertin, the Clos de Vougeot and Beaune follow one another at the foot of the Côte, while the Auxois, the Morvan and the Jura are one to two hours away. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers camper vans, low-profile motorhomes and family models there, sleeping two to six.
The former capital of the Dukes of Burgundy deserves a day on foot before you take the wheel: the ducal palace, mansions, glazed-tile roofs and lively covered market. Here are our favourite loops, the right time to go and the rules worth knowing on Burgundy's roads.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Dijon?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 24 °C, lows 10 to 14 °C
The best time to set off from Dijon: long days, vines in leaf and sites still quiet. June brings a few thunderstorms, and September marks the start of the grape harvest on the Côte, when the cellars come alive but tractors and harvesting machines take over the small roads.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 26 °C, lows 16 °C
High summer is hot and sunny, with the longest days of the year. The lakes of the Morvan and the Jura become warm enough for swimming and their campsites fill up fast: book your pitches at the same time as your vehicle, especially on the shores of Lake Chalain.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 12 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 9 °C
Transition months, cool but pleasant for towns, abbeys and wine cellars. October is the wettest month in Dijon, when the vines of the Côte turn golden; in spring, some campsites in the Auxois and the Morvan reopen late: check their opening dates.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 6 to 10 °C, lows 0 to 4 °C
Burgundy's winter is cold and often grey, with about four hours of sunshine a day in December and January. A heated vehicle still lets you attend the Hospices de Beaune wine auction in November or stroll through the Christmas markets; the Morvan and the Jura may be under snow.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Tolls and a free motorway
The A31 towards Beaune, the A39 towards Dole and the A6 towards Paris or Lyon are toll motorways, and a motorhome over two metres high usually pays the class 2 rate. The toll-free A38 links Dijon to Pouilly-en-Auxois: the ideal exit towards the Auxois and the Morvan.
Visiting Dijon without the motorhome
The protected old town, its pedestrian streets and the Owl's Trail are best discovered on foot. The Lac Kir campsite, west of the city, is a practical base for a night before or after your rental; avoid looking for a space in the historic centre with a large vehicle.
Bring bikes
The Burgundy Canal cycle route leaves Dijon towards the Auxois, and the Voie des Vignes links Beaune to Santenay through grand cru vineyards. Ask the rental company whether a bike rack is available: these flat routes are easy for families, starting from campsites and motorhome areas.
Wine tasting and driving
Along the Route des Grands Crus, cellars offer tastings in every village. Spit, choose a sober driver or schedule visits at the end of the day, close to where you will spend the night: breath tests are frequent in the vineyards, and the legal limit is lower for new drivers.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Dijon
Where can I pick up a campervan in Dijon?
Anywhere Campers is our partner company in Dijon, with a depot in the city. The exact address and the key handover time are shown in your booking confirmation. Allow enough time at departure for the vehicle inspection and handover, especially if this is your first motorhome trip.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Dijon?
The rate depends on your dates, the length of hire, the model and the options chosen, and the gap between summer and low season is significant in Burgundy. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates in Dijon: the prices shown include mandatory fees and can be booked immediately.
Which motorhome models are available in Dijon?
The offers observed range from two-berth vans to family motorhomes: the Carado T-447 sleeping four, the Adria Matrix M670SL and Sunlight T 68 sleeping five, and the Sunlight A70 sleeping six. Several models come with either a manual or an automatic gearbox: state your preference when you search.
Can I do a one-way trip from Dijon?
Mâcon, Auxerre, Lyon and Annecy are other departure cities of our partner companies. Depending on the company and the vehicle, a return to one of them may be accepted, with one-way fees. Enter it as your return location in the search engine: only the offers that accept it appear, fees included.
How many days should I plan from Dijon?
Two or three days are enough for the Côte de Nuits and the Hautes-Côtes. Allow five to six days for the Auxois, Vézelay and the Morvan, the same for the Jura, and ten days to two weeks to combine Burgundy, the Jura and the Alps as far as Annecy without long days at the wheel.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Dijon
What licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Dijon?
A category B licence lets you drive motorhomes, campervans and camper vans under 3.5 tonnes, which covers almost all rental vehicles. If your licence was not issued in the European Union, an international driving permit may be required. The minimum age and required years of driving are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I sleep in a motorhome in Burgundy?
Many wine estates in the Côte-d'Or welcome motorhomes for one night through networks of farm and winery stays. Towns also have motorhome areas, often near canals and lakes, and campsites abound in the Morvan. Parking is allowed unless locally prohibited, but setting out a table, awning or levelling blocks counts as camping.
How do I get to Dijon without a car?
Dijon-Ville station is served by direct TGV high-speed trains from Paris in just over an hour and a half, and by trains from Lyon and Switzerland. Dijon-Bourgogne airport has almost no scheduled flights: travellers usually land at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, Basel-Mulhouse or Paris and finish the journey by train.
Can I drive to Switzerland from Dijon?
Yes, the Swiss border is about three hours away via Dole and Pontarlier, or via Besançon and the Jura. First check that the rental company's insurance covers Switzerland. To drive on Swiss motorways, an annual vignette is compulsory; above 3.5 tonnes, it is replaced by a flat-rate heavy vehicle charge.
When should I book a motorhome in Dijon?
For July and August, book several months ahead: with a single depot in the city, camper vans and six-berth models go quickly. September, the grape harvest season, is also in high demand. In spring and late autumn, a few weeks are often enough to find the vehicle and dates you want.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Dijon
Dijon combines three rare assets for a motorhome trip: an art city best explored on foot, Burgundy's most famous vineyards a few kilometres away, and varied landscapes within easy driving distance, from the hills of the Auxois to the forests of the Morvan and the Jura plateaus. Stages stay short, roads are easy, and you can happily spend the night at a winemaker's or by a lake.
Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, covers every need, from the van for two to the family motorhome. Mâcon, Auxerre, Lyon and Annecy, other departure cities of our partners, also make a one-way trip south or towards the Alps possible. From May to September, Dijon's climate is particularly well suited to the road, and autumn adds the magic of the grape harvest.
