Nights of azure mistral choice12/31/2023 ![]() Originally built in the 15th-century as a hospital for the disadvantaged, it’s a jewel of High Gothic architecture, instantly recognisable for its colourful glazed roof tiles arranged in dazzling geometric patterns. At its centre is the Hospices de Beaune, also known as the Hôtel-Dieu. Nearby is medieval Beaune, Burgundy’s wine capital and one of the most picturesque walled towns in the region. On this morning’s tour we see some of the pretty villages that produce some of the world’s most sublime wines – Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, and many more.
