Burgundy (Bourgogne) is found in the centre of France, just north-east of the geographical centre and south east of Paris. It covers the region from Sens and Auxerre in the north, and south to Macon. The departments in Burgundy are: Saone-et-Loire, Nievre, Cote d'Or, Yonne

The Burgundy region was for several centuries independent of France (until 1477) - when the region sided with the English during the Hundred Years War. During that period it was a very rich state, and continues to be one of the more wealthy regions of France to this day.

Some of the main reasons that people visit the region are for the attractive countryside, including the Morvan Regional Park, and the wine - Burgundy wine is held in high esteem the world over - such household names as Chablis and Beaune come from this part of France.
