Cote d'Or

Cote d'Or is located some 190 miles (306 kilometers) from Paris, the national capital, and about 100 miles (161 kilometers) from Strasbourg.

Burgundy is crisscrossed with fabulous attractions, from big-ticket tourist hotspots to quiet, secret places that are waiting just for you. Vernois-sur-Mance, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the southeast, and Lure, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the west of Cote d'Or are also well worth checking out.

Organize some transportation and spend some time in Besancon, a retail and transport hub for the region, approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) from Cote d'Or. The city has plenty of visitor attractions, including Besancon Cathedral, University of Franche-Comte and Hotel de Ville. Place du 8 Septembre, Musee des Beaux-Arts and Besancon Citadel are just a sample of the other attractions in Besancon.

Journey into the past during your stay in the area. Visit one of the ruins for which the area is renowned. The most rewarding places for tourists to visit when they discover a new place are the spots that provide a picture of the culture. Head to Burgundy's history museums and art museums.

Burgundy is a good place to sign up for one of the culinary tours, city walking tours and winery tours available here.

At the end of your stay in Burgundy, you'll be sure to bid this place a fond "Au revoir / À bientôt" But be comforted by the fact that you'll be leaving with wonderful memories that are yours to keep forever.
