2 - Location :
Burgundy is a region with an eventful historic past and a rich artistic heritage. Archaeological sites, well-preserved monuments and fine museum collections testify to prestigious periods in its history. Because of its situation, the region has always been a busy crossroads and a convenient stepping-stone to other parts of Europe : Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. In recent years, fast train services have brought Dijon, its capital city, only 1 h 45 from Roissy international airport and 5 h 30 from London. Having no heavy industry and still possessing extensive forests, Burgundy is often praised for its quality of life. Its traditional gastronomy and unique wines provide additional pleasures.
Dijon, once the capital of the Valois Dukes, provides a close-up of Burgundy’s history.
