An incredible collection of 95 fighter planes, as well as motorcycles, Abarths, tractors...

Absolutely a must see. It is not crowded and you literally have all the space to view the chateau and the other rooms with beautiful collections. A relaxing park where you walk through to see the other collections. To conclude, the castle and a small drink of coffee, wine or ice cream available. Across the street is a catering facility.

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.

must-see visit in Burgundy

The gate does not fit stylistically with the medieval city wall and is clearly the result of a later need for recognition. From here you can walk eastwards along a large part of the city wall, which is often still intact.

(and this is not the hospice, as another tip suggests)

This former convent building has been expanded and rebuilt to a U-shaped plan. The square in front is surprisingly tidy and well maintained, perfectly matching the austerity of the symmetrical building.
