Located 30 kilometres north-east of Dijon in the department of Côte-d'Or, this very pretty medieval village has developed over the centuries around its resurgent spring. The history of Bèze was also shaped by the presence of an ancient Benedictine abbey founded in the 7th century, of which some vestiges and fortifications remain today.
With its old riverside houses and picturesque washhouses, it's no wonder that Bèze is recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in France. In this delightfully photogenic spot, you'll be charmed by the little bridges over the Bèze, floral displays and imposing Oysel Tower by the water. At the foot of this tower stands a charming washhouse and from the top, the view over the river and its lush green surroundings is a joy to behold!
You can walk from the source of the Bèze to the village centre along a pleasant path by the river. Near the spring, don't miss the caves with their sublime turquoise waters. Come and explore this mysterious-looking place on foot, then by boat along a 300-metre long underground river...
