Aubonne is recognizable by the white tower of its castle built in the 13th century. You reach the village by a climb well known to local cyclists, before emerging into the narrow streets lined with houses built between the 16th and 19th centuries. Several cafes and bakeries allow you to eat before continuing your walk in the vineyards of the Côte.
