BEAUNE

Beaune,the capital of Burgundy wines, with its wine merchants who welcome visitors in former convents with their exceptional cellars, was built on an ancient Roman castrum. It’s a town rich in heritage. With its emblematic Musée de l’Hôtel-Dieu – Hospices de Beaune dating from 1443 and its glazed tile roofs, its Collégiale Notre-Dame (12th century), which houses the Vierge à l’Enfant, known as the Vierge Noire, and its 15th-century tapestries, as well as numerous private mansions, parks and gardens. A city of art, home to the painter Ziem and magnified by 2 museums, Beaune is also the venue for numerous festivals, including the celebrated Festival International d’Opéra Baroque et Romantique, and a “concert venue” for great gastronomic virtuosos. Not to mention its flagship event, the Hospices Wine Sale on the 3rd Sunday in November. In 2023, the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne opens. This new site, dedicated to the Climats of Burgundy’s vineyards, features an original scenography.
