BURGUNDY - THE AREA
Burgundy
Burgundy Chateaux
Norman abbeys, châteaux with their glazed rooftops, ducal towns and charming villages make Burgundy a historic region with a glorious heritage. It is a land of rolling hills, waterways and of course, vineyards.
Burgundy Gastronomy
Renowned for centuries, not just for its wine, but for the quality of its cuisine, Burgundy has much to delight the visitor and the image of the vines crammed onto every square foot of land around the villages on the Côte de Nuits will stay with you for years to come.
Burgundy - Dijon
Dijon is the historic capital of Burgundy and at one time ruled a territory stretching all the way to Holland and Belgium (hence the Flemish influence on the roof tops of the region). The city centre is one of the best preserved in France and half of the buildings are over 200 years old. In addition to the good restaurants and the shopping, don’t miss the crypt underneath the cathedral and the impressive ducal palace.
