A historic town in the East of France, located between the famous cities of Paris and Geneva, Beaune is a popular destination for wine lovers, but the town has much more to offer than just that. A great deal of the historic town has survived, and there are still ancient walls, battlements and other monuments standing today, making it a fascinating insight into the development of the country of France. By hiring a car in Beaune, you'll find that the town is not only easy to get around, but it'll come in handy if you fancy venturing further afield too.
When staying in the city, there is plenty to see and do, from the fine food market on Saturdays to various art exhibitions across the town. Worth a visit is one of the most famous buildings in Beaune, the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune; thanks to its iconic fifteenth-century design and remarkable glazed tile roof. If exploring the wider region of Burgundy is of interest to you, by renting a car in Beaune you can drive further afield, with Dijon situated just over half an hour away to the north, taking the A31.
