Travel to Burgundy

From the wide open landscapes of the Morvan hills and lakes to the fertile plains of the famous vineyards of the south, there is plenty to draw the visitor to Burgundy. An important wine-producing region and a once powerful kingdom, Burgundy has a rich history. With as many architectural marvels as gastronomic ones you’ll leave satisfied in mind and body. Quite apart from the wines produced in the various terroirs, Bourgogne is one of the most foodie regions of France, famous for boeuf bourgignon, coq au vin, Dijon mustard, escargots, and crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur). It is also known for its excellent cheeses, including one of Napoleon’s favourites, the Époisses de Bourgogne, which is said to be banned from public transport due to its strong smell.

Dijon, the capital of the region, has a well-preserved historic centre with traditional half-timbered houses and colourful tiled roofs. You’ll find a fine collection of paintings and sculptures in the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon, housed in the splendid former Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy.
