Day 3: Beaune - Meursault - Beaune
Suggestion: Explore Beaune
Beaune is Burgundy’s wine capital, but it has a lot more to offer. Don’t miss the wineries, the 12th-century Notre-Dame Basilica, and the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune. The former charitable almshouse was founded in 1443 and is a reference to Burgundian architecture with its enameled tile roofs. Today it is a museum with a rich selection of paintings, tapestries, and furniture.
Beaune has a large Saturday market day with about 150 stalls that fill many streets of the town and a smaller Wednesday market that is mainly fruits and vegetables and a few regional specialties, centered around the Place de la Halle. The Saturday market in Beaune is a colorful food and clothes market. Here, the market is the major event of the week, spreading from the Halles covered market to the pedestrianized area beside Beaune’s prime visitor attraction, the Hospices de Beaune. Picturesque Place de Les Halles is the main center of activity for the Saturday and Wednesday markets.
Suggestion: Guided Visit and Wine Tasting at the Chateau de Meursault
The Chateau de Meursault opens its gates for strolls through its beautiful park and tastings of grand crus produced on its vineyards by the monks since as early as the 12th century.
You will enjoy a guided visit through the cellars followed by a sampling of Grands Terroirs (tasting of 9 different wines, 5 red and 4 white).
Suggestion: Tour La Moutarderie Fallot, a traditional mustard mill
Fallot Mustard Mill, the last independent, traditional, and family-run mustard-producing company in Beaune, invites you to discover this legendary and famous condiment.
Tucked away in an inner courtyard, only a few steps from the Hospices de Beaune, the Fallot Mustard Mill is actually the last to prepare in compliance with recipes passed down from generation to generation, and to grind the seeds using stone wheels, thus giving the paste its fully rounded gustatory qualities.
Ancient tools and equipment were jealously guarded and exhibited in the original Napoleonic building (showing what a mustard mill would have looked like in the 19th century). A harmonious sound and light display invite visitors to enter a timeless, sensory world second to none: the world of mustard. An entertaining and interactive trail takes the visitor through the centuries reminding the gestures and traditions linked with mustard and its history, and leads to new sensory experiences!
Discover new pleasures that span from the making to the tasting of mustard!
