Burgundy Tourism & Visitor Guide
Welcome to Burgundy!
Set in the eastern portion of central France, the fertile land of Burgundy rises and dips, filled in with vineyards, farmland, forests and communities. Burgundians of the Middle Ages dotted the land with magnificent cathedrals, including the spired Cathedrale St. Benigne in Dijon, as well as the wee town of Cluny's Benedictine Abbey, once the largest Christian building in the Western world.
Capital of the region, Dijon hosts the former Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, which now accommodates one of the finest medieval art museums in France, ornate tombs of the Burgundy elite and the Town Hall. Delve into the story of Dijon's golden glory at the Amora Maille Museum (Musée Amora), or taste the varieties on tap at the Maille boutique. Notable in gastronomical circles are Burgundy's specialties - coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon that can be savoured at many local restaurants. As well, the region around Chablis and the not-to-miss wine cellars of Beaune produce ruby red and crystal clear wines that beg to be sampled and appraised.
