## Visit Burgundy Wine Museum

Activities

---

---

#### Take a tour of this engaging museum, located in a mansion once occupied by the dukes of Burgundy, to understand the deep history of winemaking in the region.

With over 600 artifacts, the Burgundy Wine Museum illustrates how winemaking shaped Burgundy’s history. Wander through the centuries-old building to see historical tools for wine production, wine-related art, a collection of bottles illustrating the evolution of the iconic Burgundy bottle shape and beautiful Aubusson tapestries.

Start by exploring the exterior of the museum. The picturesque mansion is the former residence of the dukes of Burgundy. The building is idyllic, with pointed turrets and flower boxes overflowing with colorful stems.

The visit begins in the history room, which houses artifacts that span centuries of winemaking history. Take note of the 2nd-century frieze depicting the importance of winemaking at the time. Elsewhere in the museum, you will find a collection of presses that date from the 16th to the 19th century, several wine-related tapestries and very early tasting cups.

Learn about an important aspect of wine appreciation, the glassware. The thickness, color, bowl size and shape and depth of fill all have impact on the distinctive tastes of Burgundy wine.

The final room on the tour is the Ambassadors’ Room, named for the fraternity that was founded after World War II to publicize French wines. Learn how the founders aimed to promote Burgundy wines by assigning them to ambassadors from prestigious families. The organization’s founding document is on display.

Admire the artwork in the Ambassadors’ Room by Jean Lurçat, a French artist known for his contemporary tapestries. The large wall hanging shows the emblem of the group, a Gallic rooster. The organization stopped meeting in the 1970s, but their legacy lives on in the modern-day renown of Burgundy wines.

Most of the exhibits at the Burgundy Wine Museum are in French, but excellent audio guides are available in English. Note that the museum is closed on Tuesdays in the summer and on Mondays and Tuesdays in the spring and fall. The museum is also closed for the winter months. Discounts are available for children and students. Purchase a combination ticket with the Museum of Fine Arts. The guided tour has an additional fee.

We have had four family ski holidays staying at Madame Vacances Hotel Le Mottaret and we have always very much enjoyed our time here. The very helpful and friendly staff are excellent. The location of the hotel is right next to the slope just a 30 second stroll from the hotel entrance. There is an excellent ski equipment hire shop on the premises which is very convenient and the shop staff are very helpful. The lounge/bar area is very comfortable and cosy after a day on the slopes, as well as the very soothing jacuzzi located outside at the front of the hotel. The swimming pool/ spa area is also very relaxing and complete with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. We stayed on a half-board basis and the buffet breakfast is fantastic and each evening there was a different theme for the buffet dinner. We really enjoyed every meal! Our room was clean and comfortable with a bath and shower. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here and will soon be booking our next stay here in January 2007.

Excellent for a 3 star hotel. Could be more stars if they updated the rooms, wood is a bit dated. Friendly staff. Wide choice at Breakfast including full English. 10 min walk to the nearest ski lift mostly flat. A few bad points: Bed was too soft for me, had a new memory foam topper on top of a mattress. Rooms too hot, had to sleep with the windows wide open even with it -5 outside. Please provide do not disturb signs for the door, cleaner just walked in 3 times one morning.
