Destination: Chateau des Pommiers, Southern Burgundy
Southern Burgundy is steeped in History. From Roman times the area has been famous for winemaking and religious activity. In the last two hundred years it has become synonymous with fine food and good living. It is the thinking person's holiday destination. From Romanesque Churches in the south to the famous wine-growing regions, from the Morvan National Park to the languid River Sâone, Southern Burgundy has much to offer the visitor. Throughout the region there are pretty unspoilt villages and valleys, Market Towns still plying the same trade that they have done for centuries, Chateaux and Museums all waiting to be discovered.
