Burgundy has beautiful cities and towns, and its landscape is reminiscent of the Rheingau and Rheinhessen.

Serrigny Castle is an 18th-century castle located in Ladoix-Serrigny, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This magnificent building, which dates back in part to the 11th century, sits at the foot of the Corton hillside. It was once a stop on the Way of St. James and a place of pilgrimage. The duchesses of Burgundy came to pray here, while others came to bury unbaptized, stillborn, or infant children. The cemetery was discovered years later. You can also see the ruins of a well. Now owned by the Friends of Our Lady of the Way association, renovation work is planned for 2019. The site is the subject of guided tours with commentary throughout the summer, but it is also a great place for picnics.

The Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance oratory was built in 1854. The oratory overlooks the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses.

The church was built in the 12th century. The Church of Saint-Nicolas is particularly famous for its porch decorated with chimeras and its bell tower with a tuff stone turret from the 15th century.

Originally, this building was a convent of the Ursulines, built in 1697. The church of the Ursuline convent featured a bell tower and was open to the public for mass. Its walls were adorned with statues, paintings, and fleur-de-lis, remnants of which were still visible in the 1940s. The Ursuline sisters provided education to the daughters of notable families within this enclosed complex. In 1790, during the French Revolution, the convent was declared National Property along with other religious buildings in Beaune. By 1793, the municipal administration, needing more space, purchased the convent. A fire in 1815 led to extensive renovations, giving the building its current appearance. By 1818, the facade was decorated with regal and military symbols.

The Porte Saint-Nicolas is a former 18th-century city gate located in the French town of Beaune (Rue de Lorraine). Traffic entering Beaune from the north had to pass through the Porte du Bourgneuf. This gate was fortified and had a drawbridge. In the 18th century, the ramparts of Beaune lost their military function. Beaune was fortified as a border town with Franche-Comté, but in 1678 this region was annexed to France.

In terms of landscape, Burgundy is partly very reminiscent of Rheinhessen with its vineyards.
