Beaune, in the Burgundy region of France in 4 days including Nuits Saint Georges and Dijon
We stayed just outside the historic town centre which is surrounded by a moat and which wall. The Bouzaize river flows under the town, there is a wash house, Lavoir St Jacques, built 1887, on its banks. We took the tourist train for an orientation trip of the town and surrounding area then visited the famous hospice for the poor built 1443 and the Collegiale Basque Notre Dame. The next day we went to Nuits Saint Georges with the Elise St Symphorien (13th century), the museum (which was closed), bought some wine at L’Imaginarium (which had a video show of the history of their wine as well as a tasting) and finally Abbaye Notre Dame de Citeau, a Cistercian Abbey. The next day we bought a picnic and hired bikes to cycle along the very well marked “Route des Grands Crus” through the vineyards visiting Pommard, Meursault and finally Volnay where we bought a few bottles of the excellent wine we tasted. On the last day we visited The Well of Moses (1400) on our way to Dijon which has more to it than mustard. Dijon has an excellent “Owl Trail” which winds through the lovely old town past all the well known sights such as their Notre Dame, their busy market, and old buildings such as Maison Milliere (1483), le Nef, the Palais des Ducs de Burgundy with the Tombs of Philip the Bold and John the Fearless and the Cathedral Saint Benign. Before we left Beaune we spent the morning in their excellent Saturday Market.

Beautiful Beaune France! + Chagny's VAST Market [4k Travel Vlog]
The Burgundy region of France is amazing! In this 4k travel video, we visit Chagny, France, by train - and stare at the stunning Beaune Burgundy tile of the Hospices de Beaune. Is Beaune worth visiting? Watch to find out!
Chagny is a smaller town, just 10 minutes by train from Beaune - but their market is extensive! Held weekly on Sundays, the day starts quiet as we are early ones to the market, but the space quickly fills up by shoppers (almost entirely locals!). All of the stand owners are incredibly nice and this was an amazing visit. Their roast chicken stand smells (and tastes!) incredible.
Beaune itself is a beautiful town, with a hospital that has stunning roof tiles that haven't been re-colored for over 100 years! Beaune can be found in the center of the Bourgogne area, a region that is also very well known for their food (and wine! but that's a different episode). Make reservations right when you arrive, because many restaurants were full, even when traveling during COVID (summer 2021)! We do share some of the foods we enjoyed.

The Burgundy
The Burgundy - famous French region for its exciting wine.
Cities and villages: Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Morey-Saint-Denis, Marsannay-la-Côte Hotels, Dijon
A Weekend In Beaune
In the walled city of Beaune, the heart of the famed French wine region of Burgundy, wines from plenty of the best local winemakers are offered by the glass at reasonable prices, but the town's architecture, comforting cuisine and charming hotels are also good reasons to make it a stop on your itinerary. Check out my video guide to the region and the written guide here: travelproper.com/a-weekend-in-beaune/.
Exploring Dijon and Beaune, France | The Route Des Grands Crus | Travel Vlog
The city of Dijon! I won't be mentioning anything about mustard. Instead, I came for the wine. Situated in Burgundy (Bourgogne), Dijon and the nearby town of Beaune are famous as prestigious wine regions. The wines include pinot noirs, Chardonnay, Chablis, and Beaujolais. The cities themselves possess some beautiful chateaux, luxury hotels, gardens, and other sites not to be missed. The vineyards are located in a zone called the Côte d'Or. This limestone formation is the fault line formed by the Saone Valley dropping away from the escarpment. From north to south you have Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. The principal villages of the Côte de Nuits are Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Échézeaux, and Nuits-St-Georges. This was a fantastic weekend for a wine tour and a great break from school. I learned a lot by visiting communal appellations separated into four quality categories: Bourgogne, village, premier cru, and grand cru. I was lucky to taste test them all! Hope you enjoyed my Burgundy experience! Don't forget to hit the like and subscribe button. Cheers!

Cycling the Wine Route in Beaune, Burgundy! [France Vlog]
We rented a bicycle and an ebike again! In this travel vlog episode, we Electric cycle from Beaune and head south cycling the wine route to discover the Burgundy (now BFC) countryside and also try some wine. We bicycle through Pommard, Volnay, and Meursault (and more!). The countryside is beautiful and the riding is uncrowded and easy, with fantastic well marked paths. This cycling trip is a section of the Route des Grands Crus (wine route).
On our way back, we stop at a cafe to try some chardonnay... But we are running late and in our haste to return the bikes, our video camera takes a tumble. Watch to see whether it can be fixed!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

Beaune: classic Burgundy, UNESCO site and vineyards
A trip to Burgundy would be not complete without visiting Beaune - a city with a long history, lovely streets, amazing vineyards - a UNESCO site which can't be missed and the Hotel Dieu!
The duchy of Burgundy used to be very powerful in 15th century, and even rivalled France for wealth and influence. Nevertheless, the Hundred Year war in Europe (fought mostly between England and France, but Burgundy got involved too) brought a lot of diseases and devastation to the area. This was a major reason why the Hospices of Beaune- a beautiful hospital designed to take care of the sick poor- was created. It was inspired by gothic buildings in Flemish region, which was part of Burgundy at the time.
Let's go!
