Beaune
The village of Beaune retains a medieval appearance and atmosphere and is
full of monuments to its rich past. The spectacular Collégiale Notre Dame
which dates from the 12th Century, the Hôtel Dieu centre of the Hospices de
Beaune and the impressive mansion which was home to Dukes of Burgundy in
15th and 16th Centuries and is now the Musée du Vin, are just some of
Beaune's historic features.
On the third Sunday in November tourists, buyers, growers and négociants
descend upon this sleepy market town and turn it into a commercial hive of
activity as it marks the weekend of Les Trois Gloriuses with the Hospices de
Beaune charity auction.
