Visiting Beaune/Burgundy (March 10th)

We got to Beaune just in time for lunch and had one of our best meals of the week in a little wine bar serving wine by the glass with a cold cuts and cheese plater...


We then went on to visit the famous Hospices de Beaune: l'Hotel-Dieu...



We continued with a wine testing session in the wine market... Beaune is still considered by many to be the wine capital of Burgundy, ahead of Dijon. Some centuries ago, both were the same size: around 20,000 people...



We concluded the tour with a little walk around the old town...
