Burgundy - franch


Located in the heart of France, Burgundy is a region of peaceful canals
well-tended vineyards and rural charm – the epitome of la vie Française.
But this rich, rolling farmland also has a fascinating history as a once powerful duchy
whose traces can still be seen in the imposing Ducal Palace in the mediaeval centre of Dijon
the beautiful Cistercian abbey of Fontenay
and the many Romanesque churches that dot the hills and plains.
Today, Burgundy’s power and influence lies in its food and wine and its wealth is contained within the rich gastronomie bourguignonne and precious Côte d’Or vintages.
Beautifully Burgundy
Burgundy is a wine and food lover’s paradise. Satisfy both passions on a one-day gastronomy tour, organised by Burgundy on a Plate
where you can sample cheese, wine and famous regional dishes to your heart’s content.
