Burgundy’s wine country is one of the most picturesque corners of France, and Beaune is its prettiest town. A maze of narrow streets lined with ancient stone buildings, it’s a popular weekend getaway for Parisians. The highlight is the Hospices de Beaune, a former hospital that’s now a museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The highlight is the spectacular ceiling of the chapel, adorned with 15th-century painted tiles. The wine is pretty good too – try a glass of Burgundy at one of the many wine shops and bistros in the town centre.
