The Burgundy / Yonne region
Burgundy is renowned for its superb wines, excellent gastronomy and rich architectural heritage, including a large number of medieval and Renaissance era homes, monasteries and churches.
Some of the highlights of Burgundy are Dijon (famous for its mustard , medieval and renaissance buildings). Beaune and Chablis for their fine wines, Vezelay basilica a world heritage listed site , Noyers sur Serein (beautiful medieval village) and the Burgundy canal for walks, cycling, fishing or boating.
Burgundies weather can vary. In winter, there are frequent spells of fine, cold weather. In the summer, it is hot with a few welcome showers.
Autumn (grape harvests must!) is generally a pleasant, sunny season, probably one of our most beautiful times, in which the colours of nature blend harmoniously with the gentle blue of the sky.
