Tour in Ile de France, Burgundy and Centre - 4 days
Day 1. PARIS/ PROVINS/ TROYES/ DIJON
PROVINS. Overhung by the Cesar tower, surrounded by ramparts, the high city makes us remember what was Provins before, an important site which quickly became a commercial center. TROYES. This former capital of Champagne, designed in an Italian style, is particularly popular for its shops and its many examples of houses of « champenoise » architecture. DIJON. Of its former splendour when it was the capital of one of the most important kingdoms in Europe, it still preserves an exceptional cultural patrimony, such as the Palace of Dukes and of the States of Burgundy, which is nowadays a part of the Fine Arts Museum.

Day 2. DIJON. Excursion to the ROAD of the BURGUNDY WINES.
NUITS ST GEORGES. It has given its name to one of the most famous wines of
« la Côte d´Or ». BEAUNE. Surrounded by walls and towers of the XIV century. The dukes of Burgundy left there wonderful treasures, such as « l´Hôtel Dieu », which is well-known for its coloured roof-tiles. In this place, every year, the third Sunday of November, old bottles of prestigious wines are sold in public sales. Possibility of tasting Burgundy wines in a local cellar.

Day 3. DIJON/ VEZELAY/ BOURGES
VEZELAY. Beautiful picturesque town built on the top of a hill that oversees the valley of the Cure river. Its basilica, master piece of the Roman art, sheltered the relics of St Madeleine. BOURGES. At the end of the XIV century, it became the capital city of the Dukedom and an important artistic centre which was usually compared to Dijon and Avignon. The St Etienne cathedral is a jewel of the gothic architecture, with wonderful stained-glass windows.
