Burgundy: Profoundly French

Season 5 Episode 501

Burgundy is a calm and cultivated corner of France, where fine living is intimately tied to nature and traditions run strong . 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.
