La Comédie du Vin
Along the cobblestones of the medieval streets of the town of Beaune, amidst the ancient buildings, the atmosphere is sometimes suspended, but everywhere one senses the unfolding of an ancient yet still relevant tale: the undisputed protagonist of this tale is wine. Even the city’s architecture reflects the city’s rich winemaking history. Elements such as historic homes linked to winemaking activities reflect the economic importance of wine through the presence of valuable features such as merchants’ homes and the urban layout of the streets, which facilitated the transportation and storage of wine.
