• Dijon is one of the major cities of Burgundy
  thanks to its historical, gastronomic and
  architectural patrimony, One can find there all
  he needs and many people living in Burgundy go to
  Dijon for administrative needs, for shopping or
  for visiting its historical places. One of the
  main attraction is probably the owl of Notre Dame
  church that is said to give luck. Once arrived in
  Dijon, people can follow the signs on the
  sidewalks that make you cross the city through
  the most important places to finally arrive to
  that owl that you must stroke to have luck. Dijon
  is also known for being the capital of the
  mustard, of the ginger bread and of the Cassis
  cream (mixed with white wine to make a drink
  called le Kir).
• Located South of Dijon, Beaune is the city of
  wine and of history. It is famous for its wine
  shops but also for its ancient hospital which was
  built in 1443. It is now classified as an
  historical monument and can be visited. He
  hospices de Beaune were built by Duke Philippe
  III of burgundy and his wife who wanted to help
  the poorest. Many beggars, old people, orphans
  will be cured there for free. Sisters called les
  soeurs hospotalières de Beaune will live there a
  monastic life combined with their help for the
  hospital. People can still visit the room where
  the sick people were cured and see the furniture,
  the chapel which was neighbor to the room for
  those who could not get up to assist to the mass,
  other rooms dedicated for the richer people and
  to the sickest ones, the kitchen, the pharmacy
  with the products that were used as medicines. A
  museum also explains the curing of that time and
  the first surgery that was performed there. The
  hospices also grow vineyards and once a year, the
  wine is sold during the bids à la bougie.
  Thousands of people attend these bids every year.
• The Natural Park of Morvan is located in
  Burgundy. It is a regional park made of hills and
  forests, and many lakes where people love to go
  during the summer. It is mainly an agricultural
  area since 29 of the working population living
  in its area are farmers. A dialect is still
  spoken there by some people le morvandiau which
  is a different evolution of the French language
  due to the isolation of the villages of the park.
• The vineyard of Burgundy is one of the most known
  with the Bordelais and the Champagne ones.
  Different varieties of gapes are grown to create
  different wines and it is also a main attraction
  for tourists. Many caves can be visited and
  sellers offer wine tasting to the visitors.
