Discovering
Burgundy.
Burgundy lies two to four hours' drive southeast of Paris, depending on
where you go and the route you take.
One of
the great historic regions of France, Burgundy was once known for the
power of its Dukes, which rivalled that of the Kings of France. Today
the region is best know as home of some of the world's greatest wines -
and this, among other factors, makes it a region that attracts visitors.
The great Burgundy vineyard area stretches from the southern
limits of the regional capital Dijon, as far as Macon in the south. The
vineyard is mainly a narrow strip of land on the lower slopes of the
hills that border the western side of the vale of the Saône.
The
most prestigious vineyards are to be found between Dijon and Chalon
sur Saone, notably aroung Beaune.
Other Burgundy vineyards are located in the Yonne department
(89), around the small towns of Tonnerre and Chablis.
Besides its vineyards, Burgundy has many other attractions,
including the forests and low mountains of the Morvan, in the
area of Autun, and the large flat expanses of the Saone valley, famous
for its slom moving rivers and its lakes.
Burgundy also
boasts many fine monuments, in particular the great historic churches
of Vezelay, Tournus, Cluny or Autun, the palace of the Dukes of
Burgundy in Dijon, and the world-renowned mediaeval hospice in Beaune.
Burgundy also has many pretty canals and villages, and a
large
number of castles.
