The Cóte d'Or is one of the most famous regions of France, recognized in the entire world due to its high quality wines. Its location is very particular since it comprehends an area framed by three important water sources: one given by the Saóne River and the Rhóne River, a second one given by the Seine River, and a third one given by the Loire River.

This region's climate is averagely template and usually homogeneous throughout the region, although some times it might vary from one area to another. Due to the important geographical extension this region comprehends, it might happen sometimes that weather is nice and sunny in one spot while it is rainy and colder in another.

The Cóte d'Or region is characterized by the variety of landscapes it shows, as well as the great colors, tastes and smells which can be enjoyed while visiting it. This area is full of attractive lands, vineyards, rivers, and many other beautiful natural elements which combine together providing the region with a very attractive appearance.
