About Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Step Back in Time in Burgundy

The new Bourgogne Franche Comté region consists of both former regions merged into one new region.

Burgundy is a peaceful, rural region in the heart of France. It has a rich past, a strategic location and a naturally advantageous setting, all of which have contributed to its worldwide reputation for fine wines, gastronomy and architectural wealth.

Franche-Comté has close links with the Dukes of Burgundy going back nearly 2000 years. Today it’s noted for its mixture of agriculture and heavy industry, especially production of the Peugeot motorcar. Julius Caesar mentioned the city in his writings and it’s the birthplace of many famous people, including Victor Hugo.

Bourgogne Franche Comté is composed of 8 departments, including Cote d'Or, Doubs, Jura, Nièvre, Saône et Loire, Haute Saône, Territoire de Belfort and Yonne.
