The Burgundy Region

Burgundy, in eastern France, is a region synonymous with the finest wines and dishes in France. The famous Côte d'Or, a narrow ridge of hills, is home to some of the world's most exclusive vineyards. Think of names like Beaune, Pommard, Meursault and Chablis — wines that make the heart of every wine lover beat faster.

The capital Dijon is a city with a rich historical heritage. The Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne shows the grandeur of the dukes who once ruled here. The colourful roof tiles of Dijon are famous — they form a beautiful pattern on the roofs of the city hall. Don't forget the Église Notre-Dame, with its famous Chouette (owl), the symbol of the city.

The Abbey of Cluny was once the largest church in Christendom, and the Abbey of Fontenay is one of the best-preserved Cistercian abbeys in the world. In Vézelay, the famous Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine stands as an important pilgrimage site on the route to Santiago de Compostela.

Burgundy is also known for its gastronomy. Enjoy Boeuf Bourguignon, Escargots de Bourgogne (snails in garlic butter), Jambon persillé and Époisses cheese. And of course, the famous Burgundy wines accompany every meal. Book your flights to Burgundy at CheapTickets.nl!
