Had a beautiful week’s holiday with a few friends last month in the village of Chardonnay (yep, that one), near Tournus in the heart of Cotes Maconnais, staying in an excellent gite. The owners, Nick and Rebecca, also have rooms to rent above their bar and restaurant 300m down the hill in the centre of the village.
The beautiful countryside provided some excellent running opportunities. Off-road tracks through the vines that cover every hillside and very quiet roads meant each run could be very different.
Each day we planned a route through a different set of villages with a few climbs thrown in for good measure. The running watch never made an appearance, this was most definitely running for pleasure.
And of course, keeping your running ticking over whilst on holiday also means you get to enjoy every single drop of the area’s truly excellent white wine.
