Travel journalIn the Footsteps of Burgundy's Grand Estates
Its Castles
Burgundy is also told through its castles, medieval fortresses, ducal residences, and elegant gardens. Just minutes from Château La Commaraine, these history-laden places reveal another facet of the region, between architecture, family lineages, the memory of the Dukes of Burgundy, and preserved landscapes. Each visit offers a journey through time, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, through settings sometimes grand, sometimes more intimate.
Nearby, Clos de Vougeot stands as an iconic stop for lovers of wine, history, and architecture, at the heart of the Climats de Bourgogne. In Savigny-lès-Beaune, the 14th-century castle recalls the spirit of old medieval fortresses, while Germolles invites you to discover a former fortified barn turned ducal residence, admirably preserved. Further south, Couches unfolds its ramparts, towers, and gardens, in an almost novelistic atmosphere.
Commarin, Sully, Cormatin, or Ancy-le-Franc extend the itinerary toward larger residences, surrounded by moats, French or English gardens, and rich interior décor. Depending on your mood, the visit can take the form of a short heritage escapade, a day of discoveries, or a more contemplative route between villages, gardens, and fine stonework.
A lovely escapade to change the pace: history-laden stones, gardens to wander through, villages to cross...
