If you ever wonder where Burgundy is, you may directly think of the east part of France between Paris and Lyon regardless the map. In the past, Bourgogne was one of the region among the 18 other regions of France, but it recently merged with Franche-Comt with a single name. Like the rest of the country, this part has big greenery and many architectural structures from the Mediaeval Ages yet the delicacies on the palate are better than the best view.
It takes only 3 hours to reach Semuren- Auxois by car from Paris. Along the way you may see small pavilions but the Chateau of France and small vineyards within local wine producers are the most important values of here. We follow these values every ten kilometers to reach Semur-en-Auxois. This is a medieval city; mills, towers, stone houses and streets still standing. Here is the best Beuf Bourguignon* you can eat in France. In the continuation of the route there is Dijon where is known as a city of mustard. Officially, Dijon is regarded as one of the biggest city in the region. The second is Beaune. The architecture of Beaune is a bit different from other places in France. It reminds of some Scandinavian cities with colourful patterned tiles placed on a steep roof. This is the starting point of the ‘Route des Grands Crus’ which is considered to be a real tasty wine route. Attention please, there is no chance of drinking a bad wine after Beaune. But especially if you want an address, you need to head to Pommard town where is only a few miles from Beaune. There is a wide range between the expensive and cheap wine beside the cheeses of Pommard, which are as various as red wines belonging to that region. France, as a country which produces 3000 million tons of sugar by year, also welcomes the ''Bonbon'' masters in these areas. You may not be able to stop eating these colourful candies after the full-bodied wines.
After seeing countless vineyards and chateaux on the road and sweetening the mouth with wine and candies, it is absolutely necessary to drink Gn le in Macon. Gn leis a very hard drink which is usually made at home. French people drink half of a glass of this hard drink at lunch or even in the mornings. They sometimes soften the taste by adding lemon or sugar to the Gn le obtained from various plants and alcohol resting. In brief, Bourgogne is not only stepping forward with its quality wines but also it is recognized with other delicious tastes.
