A drive across Burgundy will take you through splendid hilly landscapes covered with vineyards. These "climates" are all winegrowing terroirs that bring the plots, grape varieties and know-how together. They all give rise to great vintages renowned throughout the world. Their discovery goes hand in hand with equally exceptional visits to museums featuring outsider art and modern art, a Cistercian monastery classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the house of the poet and novelist Alphonse de Lamartine.

Restaurant and hotel in a village. A true institution of French gastronomy and a charming hotel, the Maison Lameloise has cultivated art de vivre since more than 90 years. In medieval times the cuisine attracted already the Dukes of Burgundy. This long and delightful story is continued by Chef Éric Pras, MOF (Best Craftsman of France), and Frédéric Lamy at the head of the former coach house dating back to the 15th century.
