Sections:
The inner region of France with its capital in Dijon City, one of the country’s main centers for wine and gastronomy. The soils of Côte d’Or and Côte des Nuits accommodate the most prestigious French vineyards; this is the motherland of the famous Chablis and other precious intoxicating products.
Here, one can taste the best snails and enjoy Dijon’s Renaissance architecture, celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau and roam through the Abbey of Fontenay’s somber halls. Burgundy, like no other place in France, is able to preserve the balance of volatile fun and endless grandeur… or maybe, of never-ending celebration and transitory strictness?
Natural Landmarks and Lakes
The Canal of Nivernais
The canal spanning more than 180km between Saint-Léger-des-Vignes in Nièvre and Auxerre, the capital of Lower Burgundy, offers enjoyable voyages along the green banks, villages and vineyards – even if you have no boat handling certificate. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy life!
The Morvan's Great Lakes
All the six lakes lost in the hilly green terrain are very different. They are Lakes Settons, Pannecière, Saint Agnan, Chaumeçon, Chamboux and Crescent. Canoeing, swimming, cycling, fishing – anyone will find activities to their taste.
The Jura Mountains
The Jura Mountains remind of Canadian nature. This comparison is especially vivid at the pinnacle of the four lakes, near Bonlieu. From here, one can enjoy the 360-degree view of the lakes alternating with pine forests and mountains... This landscape included into the Natura 2000 List, is nothing short of breathtaking.
La Roche de Solutré
This rock surrounded with vineyards provides an amazing view both at its foot and at the top. Climbing the rock is a nice cardio workout. There is a lovely village beneath it. And nothing but vineyards all around! The landscape is spectacular!
Sights
Cluny Abbey
The biggest and the richest abbey used to be the largest Christian building in the world and the first violin in the European monastic life of those long-gone times.
Château de la Rochepot
The picturesque castle built in the 13th century stands on the hill of Roche Nolay near the similarly-named village of La Rochepot in Burgundy, in the suburbs of Nolay, near Beaune. Like many other French castles, it was abandoned and with time, turned into ruins. However, in the 19th century, the Carnot family decided to restore it.
Hôtel-Dieu, or Hospices de Beaune
The city's most famous building, a classic example of the medieval Burgundian architecture. It is even called "Palace for the Poor". It opened in the 15th century as a hospital for the paupers but was also popular with aristocrats whose donations allowed for the then-expensive glazed tile roof covering.
Palace of the Dukes in Dijon
One of the city's most interesting buildings due to several reasons. Firstly, it is based on the 9th-century castle of the duke; secondly, some parts of the castle date back to the 9-18th centuries; and thirdly, the authentic interiors have also been preserved in part.
Cities
Dijon
This city is a beautiful mixture of architecture from several epochs, half-timbered houses and the best French classicism examples. In the vicinity, one can find numerous historic jewels in the form of perfectly preserved medieval villages, small towns and picturesque castles.
Beaune
The wine center of Burgundy and the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy up to its transfer to Dijon. Delicate wine and dishes, the aroma of a crispy baguette and laidback tourists. The city is also known all over the world for its Hospices.
Semur-en-Auxois
The town can boast the perfectly maintained medieval architecture and the picturesque views of the old arched bridge. It sits on the rock of pink granite half-surrounded by the Armançon River. A special atmosphere of the Middle Ages is ensured by the 13th-century church, 15th-century bridge and the beautiful castle built in the 13th century on the top of the mountain.
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
This tiny medieval town in Burgundy, in the vicinity of Dijon, became famous all over the world thanks to the "Chocolat" movie. It is also well-known for its anise candy that have been produced at the local abbey for many years. Besides, Flavigny is featured in the list of the most beautiful French villages. So, it totally deserves a trip from Dijon!
Children's Entertainment
Parc de l'Auxois
A zoo, a water park and a theme park – all in one. Here, one can see lemurs, snakes, crocodiles, camels, fallow deer, capybaras, and axolotls. The water park offers several slides, and since it is primarily intended for young children, there are no extreme water attractions here. However, one can still find pools to suit any taste. The theme park offers various amusement rides intended for the youngest visitors.
La Ferme à l'École
In Chenove which is found in the suburbs of the Burgundian capital, one should definitely visit La Ferme à l'École and enjoy the pastoral atmosphere while watching little goats, ponies, and donkeys all living in a picturesque park covered with greenery.
The Cardoland Dino Park
The park is located in the town of Chamoux. It boasts splendidly sculpted, almost full-height dinosaur and crocodile figures that fascinate little tourists just as much as a fakir's music fascinates a cobra.
Parc des Combes
The most popular amusement park in Burgundy. Here, children can enjoy such amusement rides as Boomerang, Alpine Coaster, Vertingo, Montgolfières, as well as try bungee jumping, ride small cars and visit excellent themed parties. All attractions are meant for kids so there are no extreme options available.
Museums
Burgundy Wine Museum
Established in 1946 in the former palace of the Duke of Burgundy, the museum tells the story of wine-making in this French region which has always been proud of its wine-making traditions. The museum's collection comprises various tools and devices used by wine-makers in different epochs as well as works of art dedicated to wine. A well-preserved 14th-century building showcases old grape presses.
Museum of Burgundian Life
It is located inside a Cistercian monastery built in the seventeenth century. If you would like to visit a Bernardine monastery and get acquainted with the rich architectural heritage of Dijon and Burgundy, be sure to visit this museum.
Museum of Fine Arts in Beaune
The Beaune Museum of Fine Arts opened in June, 2012, after a prolonged renovation. It first opened in 1853. Jules Pautet, its founder, created the museum out of his own collection. Afterwards, the museum supplemented its collection with the works of the modern artists. Most exhibits of the museum are paintings, tapestries and sculptures dating back to the period from the 12th to the 20th century.
Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne Perrin de Puycousin
This museum showcases the ethnographic heritage of Burgundy with reconstructed scenes of everyday life, 19th-century Dijon shops and the gallery of famous citizens.
Grocery Stores
Grocery stores and shops are closed on Sundays. As the French themselves say, this is for visiting a theater or simply taking a stroll instead of wasting the wonderful weekend time on shopping.
We Recommend Renting a Car
Traveling across Burgundy by personal car is the most convenient option since some small settlements and wine farms cannot be reached by public transport. You can rent a car in any town of the province if you have all the standard documents.
Burgundy Is a Holiday Region!
Burgundy is an ideal vacation spot for event tourism enthusiasts. Various festivals are held here all the year round, interchanging in an unbroken chain. Most events organized at the festivals are absolutely free.
Tips
In France, a service fee is usually included into hotel or restaurant bills. However, it is considered good form to leave tips (small money or rounding the bill upwards).
Cycle the Vineyards
Rent a bike and cycle through the rolling hills and vineyards of Burgundy. The region has many scenic cycling routes, including the famous Voie des Vignes (Wine Route), which takes you through some of the best vineyards in the area.
