Burgundy Property, Holidays & Living

© MAISON DE LA FRANCE - Alan Doire
Being on an ancient trade route, Burgundy has been exposed to culture and learning for millennia. This history has left its mark on the region, which prides itself on a heritage of art and architecture, as well as its famous wines.
Majestic cities such as Dijon, and beautiful towns like Beaune rise above the rolling countryside, along with châteaux and Romanesque churches. The two largest monastic reforms originated in Burgundy, and many of the local architectural sights were inspired by the faith of monks, who created stunning buildings and monuments.
