Description

Burgundy is renowned for its warm hospitality and inimitable knack for enjoying life, rich in tradition, gastronomy, history, and excellent wines. Even before Julius Caesar fought his decisive battles with the Gaulles, people have been lured to this beautiful land of gently rolling landscapes, sleepy villages, rivers and canals. Burgundy is the old France, a land of culture, countryside, fine food and wine. Stately historic châteaux, miles of straight Roman roads and magnificent Romanesque churches give constant reminders of Burgundy’s heritage. The beauty of its traditional architecture will pleasantly surprise you.
