Beaune, capital of Burgundy wines and medieval jewel
Welcome to Beaune, an emblematic city of Burgundy, where historical heritage blends with the prestigious surrounding vineyards. Famous for its Hospices with colorful roofs, its thousand-year-old cellars and its typically Burgundian atmosphere, Beaune is a must-see destination for lovers of history and great wines.
An exceptional heritage in the heart of Burgundy
The Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune, also known as the Hospices de Beaune, is the city's flagship monument. Its brightly patterned glazed tile roof is one of the most photographed in France. Inside, a tour immerses visitors in the history of this 15th-century hospital, with its large Salle des Pôvres and period apothecary. The cobbled streets of the center are full of Renaissance homes, small artisan shops, and typical restaurants where Burgundian wine and gastronomy are in the spotlight. Don't forget to stop at the Basilica of Notre-Dame, where magnificent 15th-century Flemish tapestries depict biblical episodes.
In the heart of the Burgundy vineyards
Beaune is surrounded by the famous climates of Burgundy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We recommend following the Route des Grands Crus, which passes through prestigious wine villages such as Pommard, Meursault and Vosne-Romanée, where tastings in vaulted cellars allow you to discover the history and know-how of the winemakers.
A refined and generous gastronomy
Burgundy is a paradise for epicureans, with must-try specialties such as oeuf en meurette, beef bourguignon and Burgundy snails.
