Obviously, it is the wine that gives us the
colour and, perhaps, this added to the ‘rich’ feeling I had of
Burgundy...heavy, dark, even a little mysterious.
But, whatever the colour (and the wine), the
reason is that the region of Burgundy is, probably, better
known, by name at least, than any other part of France.
But, name alone
does not mean much if one’s knowledge is a little on the thin
side. While I had a warm, ‘rich’ feeling of Burgundy in my
mind, the rest of my knowledge was, it has to be said,
decidedly thin!
So, a trip to this part of France proved to be
one huge ‘learning curve’ of history, heritage, food and, of
course, wine. The scenery, and what the French call ‘the
nature’ was also unknown to me and proved to be another
discovery.
In
this brochure are a series of Burgundy experiences and
discoveries that will, hopefully, make a holiday, whether
short or long, more enjoyable and give the reader some ideas
and reasons to visit this outstanding region of France.
It is just impossible to cover of everything
to enjoy in Burgundy. These are merely highlights ably
supported by outstanding pictures which will bring the region
to life.
