Côte d'Or: a region of vineyards and charming towns





Bonjour mes amis! This past weekend, Jason, Katie, Lee and I explored the Côte d'Or region around Beaune. Côte d'Or means "golden hillside" and these hillsides were so named because of the beautiful fall picture of these hillsides in late October as the leaves turn. We began our journey in Aloxe-Corton, a tiny town, with a great reputation among wine enthusiasts. From there we headed up the hill to Pernand Vergelesses. We then followed the signs to see a Panorama of the hectares of vineyards below. It was beautiful! Then, we headed down the hill and followed signs to Savigny-les-Beaune. There, we saw Le Château de Savigny. This château had fighter jets parked in the side yard, and antique cars in its museum. We loved the hillsides and charming towns of this Côte d'Or region!
