【City description】
It is a small town between Dijon and Beaune and the central area of the Côte de Nuits wine field. Although the town is not big, we can see the vast wine filed out of the town. When you visit in autumn, the wine field looks like a golden sea. In addition, the cassis is also famous and there is a cassis museum where we can taste the cassis near the station.
