The old city of Beaune is surrounded by a wall built for defense in medieval times. It's a key wine center and the location of the most important wine auction held annually in France.

The wall itself is less than 2 miles in length. |
The narrow streets are a great place for browsing, visiting, and outdoor dining. |
