Hotels Cote d'Or France Cheap Cote d'Or Hotels Guide

Welcome to the heart of wine country. The Cote d'Or (Golden Hillside) is the northeastern department of Bourgogne (or Burgundy) and is famous for producing both illustrious reds and chardonnays. It takes its name from the escarpment that runs diagonally across the department, splitting it in two. This beautiful, natural division gives the area contrasting landscapes. The north and west are characterised by dense forests and rolling agricultural fields, whereas the southeastern slopes are perfect for the vineyards. The Seine also begins its long, winding journey from this golden stretch of hills, which run for 40 miles between the city of Dijon and the town of Beaune. The southwest is an amalgamation of practically all of the region's scenery, and as a result, enjoys national park status. Rock climbing is also popular here, as is, of course, walking; and increasingly so, hot air balloon rides, to take in all of that wonderful countryside at once. A closer look is recommended when it comes to such historical treats as the Abbey of Citeaux, however. This Cistercian monastery dates from the 11th century, and is still home to monks who work on the lands and sell their produce (including the renowned Citeaux Cheese) to visitors. Another must-see attraction is located near the tiny village of Alice-Sainte-Reine. It was here in 52 BC that Vercingetorix, leader of the Gauls, made his last stand against Julius Caesar in the Battle of Alesia. The area is now an essential historical sight, complete with informative placards, which recount the ancient events.
