The Best of Burgundy-Franche-Comté

In our discovery of France series, today we are sharing the best of Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Burgundy (Bourgogne in French) was a standalone region of France, but since 2016 when it merged with Franche-Comté, it has been officially Burgundy-Franche-Comté. 

Louhans is an ancient market town where the strangest event takes place, the Glorieuses de Bresse, a celebration of the country's only AOC poultry, the Poulet de Bresse. Louhans is famous for its vaulted walkways which once housed traders and artisans.

Burgundy is often referred to as the gastronomic heart of France and local architecture incorporates the magnificent coloured roof tiles that the capital of Dijon is well-known for. Dijon is also where Burgundy's famed mustard is made with producers including Maille and Edmond Fallot.
