At the heart of Burgundy is the lovely town of Beaune, where art and architecture are imbued with centuries-old traditions of wine making. Add music to the mix and you have a six-day feast of harmonious joie de vivre – the annual Jazz in Beaune Festival. Over the span of two weekends, a variety of concerts include swing, blues, and gatherings of musicians for some stellar improvisational sessions.
