Burgundy Art , Architecture Landscape

"La Bougogne--the name evokes art of international status, names of famous wines, and culinary pleasures. The reader learns about all the major monuments of which there are many: cathedrals and cloisters, castles and vineyards. We are taken by the hand and led step by step through the landscape and regional uniqueness of the four Burgundy d partements. For the first time, we learn about the region's rather obscure nobility which enhances the magic of the landscape, and--together with the presentation of often-visited famous sights--history comes alive. This is effectively a guide through 30,000 years of Burgundy's history. Beginning at the Neolithic era's mysterious meter-thick layers of horse bones, through Greek craftwork and Etruscan gold, then further on to the Cistercian cloisters and up to the present day. Burgundy is exciting!"
