Best tip - Stay well away from the bigger, faster and scarier Mirages that live just down the road at Dijon!
Seriously though, there is a chateau at Savigny-les-Beaune that is well worth the visit - As well as buying excellent home-produced wines, there are various museums within the grounds, showing cars, motorbikes, tractors and around 60 jet aircraft up to Mirage 4 size, all in the gardens of the property.

As others have said, Beaune is a lovely spot.
Beaune Challanges airfield is fine - a nice hard runway with clear approaches in both directions.
Have a look at the plate for it here and note the microlight circuit. There seemed to be a few around when I was there last summer.
As you approach make calls to Beaune in French on the French Unicom frequency (123.50).
You'll need a taxi to get into town. One of the numbers I still have is +33 6 09 43 12 08.
