Other activities such as tennis and golf are possible if you head towards one of the larger towns such as Montbard.
This part of Burgundy really has a unique feel about it, and in order to get to know the area better, one or more day trips are recommended. The region is famous for its wines, and a vineyard tour is almost obligatory! Other places that you could visit include Flvigny, the Abbey de Fontenay which is a World Heritage site, and the nearby cities of Dijon and Troyes. It might be worth noting that the use of a vehicle during your holiday in Laignes will help you get the most out of exploring the area.
The weather that you can expect whilst enjoying a stay at a holiday rental cottage in Laignes depends very much upon the time of year that you choose to travel. Certainly, the Summer months are both the warmest and the driest, with August being the very hottest month. Temperatures can exceed 26 degrees Celsius during this time. The Winter sees the temperature drop, and occasional night frosts develop. Rainfall is around the 200mm mark during November.
Starting out on a wonderful Laignes holiday is very easy to do, as there are three popular modes of transport to choose from. You could drive, fly or take a plane. Driving over from the UK would give you access to a car during your stay, and some people find this more than worth the extra travel time incurred. Flying over, you might like to consider landing at the Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris which is just over 200 km away. Flights from the UK depart London Heathrow (LHR) courtesy of British Airways on a regular basis. The final option of the train has become possible with the development of high speed rail. Still, it would take four hours or so to get from the south of England to your self catering accommodation in Laignes.
