Photo of Beaune by francisco.j.gonzalez On our annual trip to our home on the south coast, we often passed through Burgundy. Usually we stopped near Beaune as we loved this town with its glazed tile roofs. But there is so much to Burgundy. FranceTravelGuide have a great post on Burgundy; here is an extract: What are some places to visit in Burgundy? Dijon—Yes, home of the mustard. Dijon is one of France’s gastronomic capitals (along with Lyon), and has a wide variety of sights from pretty much every era starting from about a thousand years ago.Autun—If you thought a thousand years was a long time ago, then get ready for your mind to be blown in Autun, home to its original Roman gates and other Roman sights.
Auxuerre—This is where you’ll see the half-timbered homes from all the travel brochures.
Beaune—Wine, wine and more wine. All the wine.
Mâcon–Mâcon on the River Saône is the gateway to the south, Lyon and the Mediterranean, so it’s a must-see on any road trip.
Vézelay—This town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been a pilgrimage destination for centuries – namely to visit the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene, which is built, as so many things are, on Roman ruins. Read full articleTake a quick video tour of Burgundy:
