Beaune
The next leg of our journey took us to Beaune, an important town in the wine region of Burgundy. A major attraction in the historic medieval town center is the Hotel-Dieu des Hospices Civils de Beaune. Founded in 1443 as a charity hospital, it was declared an historic monument in 1862 and ended its function as a hospital in 1971. Today it is a fully restored museum.
