Burgundy Stone (the provincial area is known as Kot de Bohn). But before the richer, "L'Hotel-Dieu" comes back even wine. It's an exhibition sample of the Burgundy medieval.

"Who lives in the heat?" "When you see this building. The analogy with Russian terrace, of course, is conditional. Hotel Dieu is a burgundy gothica, a house built on the perimeter and divided into a few compartments of colorful turtle roofs, with a mass of flies upstairs. From the time of construction in 1443 and until 1971, the Hotel Dieu was used in its direct assignment - there was a hospital. He was founded for charitable purposes by Nicholas Rolen, the Chancellor of the Duke of Phillip Good.

It's the Hotel Dieu to become a museum. Inside the XVth century ' s Time Court altar (Roge van der Weiden ' s work) and a reconstructed room of sick people (some modest beds and nothing more, thinking about the interaction between the Dark and the Perpetual).

But on the third Sunday of November, the Hotel Diè is entirely appropriate to his distraction. This is the second central stage of the Trua Gloriez wine fair. There's an old ritual: the bidder lights the candle in the room and leaves it out. And it all looks like a meeting of the district asset in the cultural house, a room filled by people, and a scene at the bureau table where the men in the tie sit.

The vineyards in the outskirts of Bona are 3,000 ha and specialize in the same red wine. This is primarily the Pommar (5 km south-west, Rommard) leader of gross products from burgund vin and Alox-Corton (5 km north, Aloxe-Corton) - both red and white wines are made here. Almost every village has an old church, and the vineyards tend to be locked.

In general, Bon leaves a pleasant impression of an old city composed of narrow streets. The museum of burgundy wine is located in the Duke Palace. As an interesting exponent, there is a giant press to squeeze grape juice. The city walls of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries are now used as a vin repository. The Church of Notre Dam holds five Gobelles.
