Photography Tour in Beaune
The best photos of Beaune aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Ramparts walk will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Bouchard Pere et Fils for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Beaune is a compact walled town at the heart of the Cote d'Or — the golden slope of Burgundy vineyards producing some of the world's most celebrated wines. The Hotel-Dieu, a 15th-century hospital with a spectacular polychrome tile roof, is one of the finest medieval buildings in France. Wine cellars riddle the ground beneath the town.

Photography Tour Perspective
Beaune attracts visitors for food and history, and Ramparts walk and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best.
