Michelin Green Guide Burgundy / Jura
Ref: MCH1307
This is an example of the format of the Michelin Green Guides.
Well established authoritative tourist guides these include practical information, detailed mapping combined with colour photographs and illustrations.
Below is the introduction to the guide from the publisher.
Burgundy and Jura were long ago united during the glory days of the great Dukes of Burgundy. The historic Franche-Comté, the "free county", and the celebrated duchy eventually became a part of the kingdom of France. The two regions are quite different and indeed complementary. Burgundy is known for its opulence: arts, Romanesque architecture, wines, cookery and the prosperity of both its fields and its cities. Jura is a more rugged place, its virtues are found in solid fortresses and rural dwellings rather than elaborate châteaux, in the music of the wind in the trees of the Morvan Forest, the thunder of mountain cascades, the sun glinting off the waters of a canal or a lake, the subtle bouquet of rare wines, the beauty of the snow-lined crests. For natural beauty, great works of architecture and - in every part of the region - excellent cuisine and fine wines, discover Burgundy and Jura on your next trip to France
