When to go to Beaune?
Burgundy's wine capital keeps its centre inside old ramparts, with tasting cellars running underneath the streets. The Hôtel-Dieu is the set piece: a courtyard of glazed tiles in geometric colour beneath very steep roofs. On Saturdays the market takes over the squares with cheese, warm bread and whatever the season is doing, and the Route des Grands Crus starts just outside.
