Private Guided Walking Tour in Beaune

Beaune deserves a leisurely walk to discover its magnificent architectural heritage. During this guided walking tour along with your private guide, you'll stroll through the city and admire it as an open-air museum, learning about its history and influence on winemaking in Burgundy.

Admire its diverse architecture, from Romanesque structures to beautiful Renaissance and 18th-century mansions, as well as medieval treasures like half-timbered houses and well-preserved ramparts.

One of the city's must-see monuments is the Hospices de Beaune, a hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, the Chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife. It was established to aid the poor and needy during a time of misery and famine. Far from being austere, the Hospices, with its Gothic medieval architectural beauty and its famous glazed flat roof tiles, is now considered an emblem of Burgundy.

The highlights of this monument include learning about the history of medicine through the centuries and the opportunity to admire Van der Weyden's great Altarpiece, The Last Judgement, commissioned by Nicolas Rolin himself.

Don't miss the Notre Dame Basilica of Beaune, one of the last great Romanesque churches in Burgundy. Constructed in the mid-12th century on the Cluniac model, it hides many treasures within its walls.
