Savor the Riches of Burgundy

The heart of France - that's what you'll experience on a vacation to Burgundy. An unforgettable adventure of culinary delights, fine wine and history, Burgundy epitomizes all that France is celebrated for.

Take a leisurely drive along the "Rts des Vins" from Beaune, Burgundy's epicenter and wine capital, and explore the cobbled courtyards and thick-walled stone buildings of the many small towns along the way. Or view the vines from above in a "hot air balloon" ride. A scenic jaunt down the Rhine in a "barge" is another unique way to view Burgundy's pastoral landscapes.

No matter how you choose to discover Burgundy, be sure to make time for the World Heritage sites of "Fontenay," one of the best preserved Cistercian abbeys in France; "Vezelay," a charming medieval town that was once one of the major pilgrimage sites of the Christian world; and "La Charite."

Museums abound in this land of cultural riches, and some of the must-sees include the "Dijon Museum" in Beaune; the "F1 and F3 Racing Museum and Test Track," where you can learn to drive a Formula 1 racing car on the F3 Grand Prix Circuit; the "Photography Museum," one of the oldest museums devoted to photography and its history; and the "Museum Chalon."
