Burgundy is a calm and cultivated corner of France where fine living is intimately tied to nature and traditions run strong. Take a special guided tour away from tourist-trampled routes with European travel expert, TV host, and best-selling author, Rick Steves.

We'll travel on a canal barge, visit a medieval hospice and a modern monastery, build a barrel, appreciate fine Burgundy wine, slurp escargot, and eat very, very well. If you're looking for quintessential French culture, you'll find it in Burgundy. |
