The Bourgogne is one of the oldest cultural centres of Europe and France. Moreover, a lot of its historical buildings are still intact. In the 14th century, the Bourgogne saw a period of unknown prosperity. There are castles, churches and cloisters from many periods, starting from Gallo-Roman to Roman and Gothic, Renaissance and 18th century.
Although the Loire-region is famous because of her castles, it's possible to visit from 'Au Bois Joli' the 8 castles of the 'Ducs of Burgundy'. If you are a lover of history and culture, you can't even pass over the Abby's of Reigny, Corbigny, Pontigny and Fontenay.
But also old cities, such as Vezelay
(on the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostella), Autun, Avallon, Nevers, la charité sur Loire and Auxerre are
certainly worth a visit!
Except the old cities the surroundings of the campingsite have a number of scenic villages which are worth a visit,
like Saint Fargeau with it's castle and spectacle of 'sound and light', Toucy with it's Saturdaymarket and Noyers sur
Serein that belongs to the 150 most beautiful villages in France.
Besides for her cultural wealth, the Bourgogne is also widely known for her gastronomy and wines. The Burgundians are proud of their regional products, such as Charolais beef and snails, but also mushrooms and cheese, and they are fond of using them in lovely dinners for their guests.
