Beaune is the center of the Burgundy wine regions. One place we went wine tasting featured 14 different wines -- it got pretty confusing after awhile. So we took a break and toured the Hospices de Beaune, founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin as the Hôtel-Dieu, and now a museum. I wonder if the poor people who were cared for in there times of distress thought that their beds would be the goal of tourists in the future? Tourism didn't exist yet, they would have had to model it as some sort of pilgrimage --- in any case I'm sure they figured that Jesus would have returned by now.
