Visit the Hospices de Beaune | The greatest destinations in the vineyards of France – France’s official wine tourism portal

And the truth is that the Hospices is the grandest of buildings. With your refined sense of taste, however, you are sure to be seduced by the engrossing tale hidden behind the larger story. The founders of the Hospices, Guigone de Salins and Nicolas Rolin, were 15th century philanthropists whose courage and piety are immediately evident in the excellent account provided by the audio guide. There are four things worth knowing as you plan your visit: – There is a special tour for children;- You can buy Premiers Crus and Grands Crus (85% from the Hospices vineyard) in the shop;- If you want to take photos, the light is better on the roof in the morning;

– The Halle, opposite the Hospices, hosts a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
