Beaune Attractions

 
The old town of Beaune (pop. 22,916), on the Bouzaise. Originally a Roman foundation (Belna or Belena), it was a residence of the Dukes of Burgundy. Beaune's great attraction for visitors lies in its numerous medieval houses. The central feature of the town is the Place Monge, with a tower of the 13th/14th century, which now houses a museum of archeology and natural history, and the Hôtel de la Rochepot (16th century), which has beautiful courtyards.
