The famous Hospices de Beaunes
The discovery of the Auxois region inexora-
bly passes by the village of Epoisses, known
for its cheese that bears the same name, and
by Flavigny-Sur-Ozerain, a delightful little fortified
market town that dominates surrounding
countryside and that is famous for the
creation of aniseed sweets. Finally, the imposing
Cistercian abbey of Fontenay, classified
as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, is a veritable
masterpiece of Roman art from of the Xth
century that is worth a visit.
After gone back and forth along then crossed
the Canal de Bourgogne, we follow the Route
des Grands Crus and cross the Côte de Nuits,
then go back up until Bassière-sur-Ouche,
where the magnificent Abbaye de la Bussière
park begins. The decoration of the rooms
dares to make certain sought-after and surprising
contrasts with the architecture of the
place. The starred Chef Emmanuel Hébrard,
who arrived in 2009, sets himself apart by an
uncluttered cuisine
and an
added discreet
original touch
to otherwiseclassic
dishes.
In short, it’s
surprising and
full of promise.
