All the spotlights are on Beaune, waiting for the results of the sales and hoping for new records every year. But the rest of the year, between canal and hillsides, the town is the ideal starting point for discovering the heart of Burgundy. Gault&Millau gives you its 5 must-sees

Summer wines: 5 champagnes that rhyme with terrace
For many, summer rhymes with rosé. But don't forget the fine bubbles of champagne. Ideal as an aperitif when well chosen, champagne opens the senses and whets the appetite. Choose a champagne with a low sugar content, brut nature or extra-brut, and if possible young enough to retain all the freshness of the fruit and avoid honey or stewed fruit flavors. It should be served slightly cooler than usual, at around 9°C, to enjoy it to the full, as it will quickly warm up in the glass.

International City of Gastronomy and Wine, Dijon makes good food
Today, Friday May 6, the Cité internationale de la gastronomie et du vin opens in Dijon. A few days before the event, we were able to visit the site, still under construction, to gauge the scope of the project. Carried forward with enthusiasm and pride by Dijon's mayor, François Rebsamen (PS), and his teams, the site will be, if the public is successful, the emblematic project of his three terms in office.
