Vous êtes
en Bourgogne, ("You are in Burgundy")
announces the sign on the A6 Autoroute linking Paris
to the South of France, as if to say that you are
entering a realm of earthly delights. Indeed, you
are; for Burgundy is the heartland of rural France,
a deeply civilized region where a spiritual, monastic
tradition goes hand in hand with a robust joie de
vivre, and where wine is the lifeblood of the land.
