French Country Cottages in Burgundy

Self-catering in France means one thing for certain: scrumptious cuisine complemented by impeccable wine. Luckily for those renting holiday homes in Burgundy, this region is home to some of the nation’s most delicious dishes, as well as arguably the finest wine in the world. While self-catering, make sure to try the region’s most famous dish – boeuf bourguignon – which is made by stewing braised beef in red wine, garlic and herbs. The perfect complement to the region’s food is the wine, which is distinguishable from wine grown in other regions such as Aquitaine by use of a gradually sloping bottle. Why not buy a bottle or two of dry red Pino Noir from a nearby vineyard and enjoy them on the terrace of your French villa?

One of the best things to do on self-catering holidays in France is visit the country’s historic vineyards. Burgundy has some of the best viticulture anywhere in the world, where vast stretches of land are dedicated to the cultivation of Pinot Noirs, Chablis, and Beaujolais. This area is also crisscrossed by a network of numerous navigable canals and is studded with grand chateaux. It is also home to the imposing Palace of the Dukes, where the unique Musee des Beaux-Arts were established. With so much to see, and much of it outdoors, it is no wonder that Burgundy is so popular for family holidays.
