Introducing Beaune
Beaune (pronounced similarly to bone), 44km south of Dijon, is the unofficial capital of the Côte d’Or. This thriving town’s raison d’être is wine – making it, tasting it, selling it but, most of all, drinking it. Consequently Beaune is one of the best places in France for wine tasting.

The jewel of Beaune’s old city is the magnificent Hôtel-Dieu, France’s most splendiferous medieval charity hospital.
