Highlights:
Chateau Pommard is located in the famous Meusalut village of Pommard, Burgundy, France. It has the largest private vineyard in Burgundy today, with the entire vineyard covering an area of 40 acres. Since 1726, Chateau Pommard has been closely associated with the history of Burgundy. After more than three centuries of ups and downs, Chateau Pommard has long been known internationally for its fine wines, attracting an endless stream of visitors, becoming a testimony to the development and prosperity of the Burgundy wine industry. The gate of Chateau Pommard is a garden with a fountain, decorated with bushes and flower beds, very French. The interior of the entire winery is very antique, and you can see the luxury of the past. The Pommard Winery History Museum with a certain scale collects many historical relics during the development of Pommard wine, as well as the farming tools and winemaking tools used by grape farmers for centuries. The winery's kitchen is also very interesting, with a stone chimney and a pendulum-shaped barbecue grill from the 17th century. The doors of the winery can lead to the vineyard, and the 20-hectare Pinot Noir vineyard is very spectacular. The vineyard has fertile soil, mild weather, and the variety is mainly Pinot Noir. The underground wine cellar of the manor is very spectacular. In addition to the oak barrels, there are neatly stacked wine bottles in various lanes, and they are stacked according to the year. Hundreds of years of history.

Highlights:
Dijon's famous church building - Notre Dame de Dijon is located in the center of Dijon. This Notre-Dame Cathedral is an outstanding example of 13th-century Burgundian architecture, inheriting the architectural style of the Roman Art Period. When Notre Dame was built, it was located in the main business district of Dijon at that time. Due to the limited space, this Notre Dame is very small and is the smaller Gothic church in the entire Burgundy region. Even so, Notre Dame still exhibits a solemn religious atmosphere. The facade decoration of the church is very eye-catching, with rows of columns and drainage mythical beasts. The inner nave is nearly 18 meters high, which makes the space look tall and broad, without feeling cramped at all. The "Jacquemar Bell" at the top is the trophy confiscated from Belgium by Philip the Brave, Duke of Burgundy. Originally, there was only Jacquemar's image on it. Later, people found him a wife and children, a family in order to fear that he would be too lonely. Happy timekeeping from now on. In addition, there is an owl carving on the outer wall of Notre Dame. It is said that if you touch it with your left hand, you will have good luck. Over the years, the little owl has been rubbed so hard that it can't see its true shape.

Highlights:
It was seen as an increase in the power of the king, especially for Louis XIV, with his equestrian statue in this square. There are several small fountains on the square, and the small water jets that are constantly spraying up and down are surrounded by coffee shops and restaurants, so this is also a place for tourists to talk about the world, full of the classical and romantic atmosphere of Dijon.

Highlights:
The Duke and Palace of Burgundy was built in 1366 and was the residence of successive Dukes of Burgundy. It was previously nothing more than a residence backed by a Gallo-Roman villa, rebuilt in the 17th century as a classicist palace designed by the Versailles architect Mansar. The project was only completed in the 19th century. The renovated west wing of the palace is used as an office space, and its east wing is an art gallery. It is also one of the largest museums in France and houses many art treasures.
