Burgundy is rustic and pastoral with rolling hills, small villages, vineyards, castles, churches, monasteries and abbeys.  History has been exceptionally kind to Burgundy and to its capital, Dijon.  Since the Middle Ages it has been spared the destruction endured by other French cities. It was untouched by revolutions, unscarred by the world wars and has been relatively inaccessible thanks to country roads.  It still reflects the pastoral prosperity it enjoyed under the Capetian dukes and kings. Click above on some of the places you can visit in Burgundy.

Burgundy is known for its canals and lockhouses (below)  and has become a favorite place for houseboating and barging holidays.   Boats and barges meander the canals allowing passengers to hop on and off and visit some of the local villages and taste the local wines. 
 

 Quaint villages, cathedrals, abbeys dot the landscape.     Every where you look, there is another scene ready to be painted.  It's no wonder that France had so many  great artists.  Inspiration is all around you.  

Burgundy is also famous for its fine wines.  From Dijon, the Route des Grands Crus runs 30 miles in a nearly straight line through the great wine villages of the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope) -  Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanee, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, among others.
