Few places are so easy to to write about and photograph. Burgundy is one of Europe’s real treasures. A world of places in one, here the landscape rolls from vineyard hills to green grazing fields to oak woods. It is one of France’s largest regions, extending down the centre-east south of Paris to near Lyon. It is also one of the most tranquil, rural regions in Europe with a population density of only 50 persons per km². Sophisticated Dijonites are a million miles from their country cousins 100 miles to the west in the Nièvre. Southern roofs are Mediterranean in style while the steep slanting tiles in the North of Burgundy are reminiscent of Alsace. Warm smiles, sublime wine, exquisite food, breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes, calm, wondrous medieval architecture – just a few of the reasons why Burgundy is great.
