Burgundy Heritage Sites

Burgundy’s heritage is defined by its monastic history and ducal grandeur. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay and the Romanesque Basilica of Vézelay, a major pilgrimage stop. In Dijon, the medieval center offers the Gothic Saint-Bénigne Cathedral and the Renaissance-influenced Saint Michael Church. The list also includes formidable fortresses like the 15th-century Château de Châteauneuf and the architectural transition of the Basilique Notre-Dame in Beaune.
