Visit the wine caves to find your favorite, visit its small but excellent museums, be sure to see the Hôtel-Dieu (Hospices de Beaune) with its multi-colored roofs, the Fallot mustard factory, and end your visit with a stroll along the city wall. Beaune is easily seen in a day, and a train ticket is very inexpensive. ( 19 min by train – Also accessible by Transco bus)
