Abbaye de Maizières

Beaune is a town in eastern France widely considered the wine capital of Burgundy, in the Côte-d'Or department. It is between Lyon and Dijon. Beaune is one of France's key wine centers and a major hub of Burgundy wine production and business. The Hospices de Beaune's annual wine auction is the primary wine auction in France.

As you wander through the winding streets of the historic center, you'll be transported back in time to the medieval era. The town is known for its well-preserved ramparts and impressive landmarks, including the stunning Hospices de Beaune, a former hospital dating back to the 15th century. Inside, you'll find a fascinating museum displaying art and artifacts from the town's history.

But perhaps the most famous aspect of Beaune is its wine. The region is known for producing some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the world, and there are plenty of opportunities to taste and learn about the local varietals. From winery tours to tastings at local bars and restaurants, there's no shortage of ways to indulge in the region's culinary offerings.
