This city of Beaune is famous for its Hospices, prestigious place established in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of Philippe le Bon, to help sick and discriminated persons. Today, Hospices are a museum allowing to discover its main courtyard, its big room of "Pôvres", its kitchen, its Gothic chapel and its apothicairerie. This place is famous for its wines sale, a big charity sale taking place in November.

Surrounded by ramparts and bastions, the old town of Beaune has preserved pretty Renaissance town houses, as well as charming inner courtyards. Notre-Dame collegiate church of the 13th century and the residence of the dukes of Burgundy are also beautiful examples of architecture.
