Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Champage-Ardennes and Burgundy have more to offer than just some of the world's greatest wines. Both regions are rich in fascinating history and in lovely old churches, abbeys, and chateaux; both are criss-crossed with gentle waterways among tranquil old towns and villages; and both contain some of the wildest, least populated areas of France. The great hills, forests, and looping rivers of the Ardennes and thick forests, streams, and pools of Burgundy's Morvan are wild lands of legend and mythology. Champagne has caught some of the hurried ways of Paris, but Burgundy, for centuries an independent country, remains calm.
