Getting to and around GAM

L’Autunois is ideally located in the heart of Burgundy, in the north of Saône-et-Loire on the foothills of the Morvan, close to Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saône, Dijon.
Find out how to get to Autunois Morvan on this page. Whether you’re coming from France or abroad, we’ll explain it all.

CAR

The best way to get around Grand Autunois Morvan is by car. It offers a great deal of freedom, allowing you to choose your departure and arrival times and take full advantage of the varied landscapes between the hills and plateaux of the Autunois.

To reduce your carbon footprint, you can also consult the various websites of bus journey providers such as Flixbus, BlaBlabus and others. In addition, MOBIGO bus services have recently been launched to link the Le Creusot-Montceau-Montchanin TGV station with train arrivals and departures.

In Autun, the range of bus routes has also been extended, making it easier to get around the town. In summer, take the Petit Train d’Autun for a tour of the ancient sites!

However, if you want to explore the Morvan or the area around Autun, hiring a car is still the best option.

TRAIN

The nearest TGV station to Autun means that journey times are considerably reduced: 1 hour 15 minutes from Paris and 45 minutes from Lyon (station to station).

The ‘Le Creusot-Montceau-Montchanin’ TGV station, located near the town of Le Creusot, is around thirty minutes from Autun and around 2 hours by car from Paris and 1h15 from Lyon (combining TGV and road).

From Germany, there is a daily TGV service from Frankfurt am Main to Chalon-sur-Saône TGV station. You can then take a Mobigo bus, which runs direct to Autun. If you want to get around Autun, it’s best to hire a car from Chalon-sur-Saône. You’ll save time by avoiding the bus timetable, and you’ll be able to get around the Grand Autunois Morvan at your leisure.

Another option: Nevers TER station, in the Nièvre department, will bring you closer to Saône-et-Loire. You’ll need to take a TER from Nevers to Étang-sur-Arroux, then a shuttle bus will take you to Autun. If your final destination is Autun, or if you want more flexibility to explore the region, hiring a car in Nevers is a good alternative.

To sum up, from the TGV stations, you can either take a bus or hire a car. By car, allow around thirty minutes from Le Creusot and 1 hour from Chalon-sur-Saône. By bus, allow 50 minutes from Le Creusot and 1h10 from Chalon-sur-Saône.

AIRCRAFT

If you’re travelling from a more distant destination, compare the TGV and air travel options. For example, it is often more practical to travel by TGV from Frankfurt or Barcelona than by plane, taking into account waiting times at the airport and baggage constraints.

If you choose or need to fly, it is advisable to land at Paris CDG or Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport, then take the direct TGV to the ‘Le Creusot-Montceau-Montchanin’ TGV station.

Autun also has its own airfield, so don’t hesitate to contact it for information on accessibility conditions.
