Cote d’Or

The department of Cote-d’Or is mostly rural, with vineyards where some of the world’s best wines are made. Castles and monasteries are the main attractions, and it’s worth paying a visit to the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy which is located in Burgundy’s capital city Dijon. The city is considered to be amongst the most beautiful cities in France. Traditional houses, gardens, museums and markets will fill your time in the city, and a little further afield you’ll find Lac Kir. With its beach, the lake is a great place to spend a relaxing summer day.
