Burgundy (Bourgogne) – Exploring the heart of France

Honeymoon in the “heart of France” and bask in its glorious delights. “Oh! How I would give up my happiness just for yours, although you should never guess, If only on occasion, even from afar, I could hear the laughter of that happiness, born of my sacrifice!” – Cyrano

The region of Burgundy is famous for not only its excellent wines, but its rich medieval history and in particular its abbeys, as this was long the religious center of France.  A visit through Burgundy is best done by car or bicycling, and it begins less than 2 hours away from Paris.
