ヴォルネのおすすめツーリングルート

Santenay is a charming wine-growing village in Côte-d’Or. It consists of renowned vineyards, thermal baths and the Sorine mill, offering a beautiful harmony between nature and tradition.

Meursault: a beautiful wine-growing village, the town hall and its Burgundian rooftops are not to be missed. Fun fact: scenes from The Great Stroll were filmed in Meursault.

In a town in the Moselle Valley, which, like Burgundy, is internationally renowned for its winemaking, I found the following slogan (without citing the source) on a large billboard: "The earth, the vine, the sunshine, they bring us the golden wine. But if it weren't for the work of the winemaker, even the finest glasses would remain empty." The statement fits perfectly with the monument shown here.

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.

Beautiful Romanesque church in a small picturesque village.

In the small village of Meursault in Burgundy there is a particularly fascinating church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. This building is characterized by its architecture, which combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, thus reflecting centuries of history and art. Originally, Romanesque chapels stood on its site, but over the centuries it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, giving it the appearance we see today. One of the most significant events was its renovation in the Gothic style in the late 15th century under the leadership of the abbots of the Abbey of Cluny. Its imposing 57-meter-high stone bell tower, decorated with elegant pinnacles and housing three ancient bells, stands out. In the 19th century, the addition of three naves transformed the building into a real basilica. Inside there is a Mutin & Cavaille-Coll organ from 1927, which embellishes the structure with its melodies. A work that combines stories of devotion and art, a centuries-old witness to change and continuity.

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.
