Beaune, Fine Wine and the Old Town

by Beausoleil - last update: Nov 2, 2009

Hotel Dieu is worth a visit in Beaune

Roof of Hotel Dieu in Beaune
I always think of Burgundian roofs when I think of Beaune. The funny thing about Hotel Dieu is you don't see the patterned tile roof until you are actually inside. We visited Beaune several times before we visited the Hotel Dieu and then we wished we had visited sooner. It is an amazing place and certainly worth the time it takes away from wine tasting.

 Bonjour Beausoleil! I stumbled on your post by luck when I was looking for advice on Beaune Hotels. You have great tips. I am also in Sacramento. Would you say this hotel is a safe walk from town at night and do they have internet? Merci bien!

 Sounds like you had some pleasant visits in this beautiful area. (I just got the 1000th page view on your fine Beaune page.)

 The more I read your pages on France, the more I think I must extend my holiday ;-)
