After Beaune I have two free nights coming up before I reach Chablis. I was thinking of revisiting Solutre but previous posts make the northern towns (vezelay) sound more attractive.
Is the Macon area worth it? Food, wine and history interest us.

betscw,
Not a place to sleep, but just over an hour NNW of Beaune is Fontenay Abbey. We stopped there on our drive from Chambord to Beaune. Magnificent! The drive from the Abbey to Chablis is about an hour. Worth considering, as is Vezelay.

How about Dijon, home of mustard. I thought the town was charming.

Check out Arbois as an option. A nice change from Burgundy.

Thanks for the Fontenot recommendation. We are traveling from Troyes to Dijon so will definitely stop.
