Do you fancy a weekend trip combining cultural heritage and wine ? <Beaune, at the heart of Burgundy, is an ideal destination for a two-day getaway.

Day 1

Let's go for a walk!

In the morning, you start your day exploring Beauneà foot, strolling through its ruelles pavées lined with ancient houses. To enhance your stroll, use the Burgundy Stroll app, which provides historical anecdotes, itineraries and practical tips along the streets. In particular, you’ll discover the Hospices de Beaune, the collégiale Notre-Dame, and a fewhidden courtyards that you’d probably never have found on your own. By the way, did you know that the Porte Marie de Bourgogne was originally a house of négoce in the 19th century? For lunch, you’ll settle into La Table de Guigone, where you’ll be greeted by Arnaud and his wife, always smiling. You’ll enjoy seasonal cuisine with a responsible approach. On the menu:Snails, mushrooms and sauce; the Fallot mustard, Chicken escalope made with Gaston Gérard; Assiette d’Époisses Berthaut, jam and salad and to finish Pana cotta Anis de flavigny and strawberries. A real treat.
