Burgundy: Profoundly French

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | Burgundy is a calm and cultivated corner of France, where fine living is intimately tied to nature and traditions run strong. We'll slow down to enjoy the region's edible, drinkable, scenic, and floatable delights. We'll travel on a canal barge, visit a medieval hospice and a modern monastery, build a barrel, appreciate fine Burgundy wine, slurp escargot, and eat very, very well. If you're looking for quintessential French culture, you'll find it in Burgundy. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #burgundy

If anybody is wondering why some people in the comments are saying "Himmler" or "TNO" let me explain. There is a mod for a game called Hearts of Iron 4 called The New Order in which Germany won ww2. In the game, the state of Burgundy is led by Heinrich Himmler. Burgundy in the game is basically a nation sized concentration camp.

The bad soil being good for the vines because it builds the character of the grape is the most French thing I've ever heard. And I'm a French teacher.

Sorry if we are grumpy and rude from time to time. But that's just from the outside. See it as our protective shell from our own insecurity and also because we hate facade smiles.

[@brucemarsico6]

I'm not a French basher. Where I live I can easily make my way downto New Orleans and drink and feast and watch the crazy world parade from my balcony room in the Vieux Carre. Why would I need to go to France? New Orleans is a bit of France and Spain and the Caribbean all to be found in a hundred square blocks.

[@CaptchaNeon]

I used to only watch Rick’s shows but I’ve been addicted lately to his live zoom meetings on Monday nights. He goes through several videos and then will pause here and there to tell you fun facts or behind the scenes info that never made it to TV. It really changed how much I enjoyed his show positively.

[@Isawwhatyoudid]

does he still do that?

[@Thomasfrohwitter]

Hello Kerry

[@jackbuckley7816]

I'd love to do the boat trips on French canals. Although I'm not a wine fancier, I enjoyed learning about the process & developing appreciation. The medieval hospice is fascinating. My favorite segment is the one on Cluny & Fontenay Abbeys. I love those silent, haunting, yet spiritual corridors where monks once walked, worked, & prayed. Interesting to learn how the monasteries set the stage for Europe's industrial base, though its ultimate fulfillment still centuries away. I was born in Germany in 1957, retaining no memories. Aside from that, however, I've never been to Europe. Envisioning myself in France, as I fantasized while watching this program, is simply mind-boggling to me. I'm not sure I could focus or even comprehend anything, as I'd be so awestruck, feeling I was in a dream! I DO so hope I get there someday. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn French!

Last summer me and my parents had a summer vacation with our boat. We live in the Netherlands, Brabant to be exact and went all the way to the Dordogne, Cahors by inland waters. And really its the most relaxing and fun way to see hidden gems of our lovely Europe. Best vacation I've had with my parents 🙂
