Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Essentials

This collection highlights the architectural and historical diversity of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, spanning from the Romanesque masterpieces of Cluny and Vézelay Abbeys to the 17th-century military engineering of the Citadelle de Besançon. It features the 15th-century Hospices de Beaune, the Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay, and the industrial heritage of the Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans. Modern landmarks like Le Corbusier’s Notre-Dame du Haut and the experimental construction at Guédelon Castle illustrate the region's continuous evolution from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

Hospices de Beaune

Founded in 1443 as a hospital for the poor, this 15th-century masterpiece is renowned for its flamboyant Gothic architecture and vibrant polychrome glazed-tile roofs. It now serves as a museum and hosts a world-famous charity wine auction every November.
