Burgundy's natural riches and colourful history have marked the region with some of the finest heritage of European art and architecture. It is a beautiful and fertile land whose wealth is nurtured by farmers, vine-growers and foresters applying skills that have been refined here for over a thousand years – the reputation of the local cuisine has travelled the world over, while Burgundy's wines are a byword for the very best. Add to this an unspoilt, multi-facetted countryside just waiting to be explored on foot, horseback, by bicycle or car; an incomparable network of clean, quiet canals ideal for cruising; a wonderful natural park covering the heart of the region; a variety of delightful towns and villages with history as rich as their cuisine; and a wide range of cultural and leisure activities throughout the year, and you'll understand that a single visit to this area is never enough. But that's where Burgundy plays its trump card, for the openness and goodwill of the people make this region a pleasure to come back to. Burgundians have transformed hospitality into an art de vivre: simple, dignified and sincere. People here know that the better things in life must be taken with time, naturally. A Burgundian will anticipate a wine before drawing the cork, decode delectable cooking smells before tasting, unravel an autumn breeze to retrace the steps of its fragrant journey, imagine medieval chateaux as of old, approach an ancient monastery in the crook of a valley softly, with respect. So take your time: you will discover an inimitable land, where natural beauty and great art go hand in hand with good living.
