Burgundy-Franche-Comté

The former region of Burgundy is famous worldwide for its fine wines and the vineyards attract many tourists, however, much of the rest of the region, especially the Franche-Comté area, is largely unknown. However, it is home to rolling countryside that varies from the Jura mountain range to large forests, historic châteaux and religious buildings, beautiful villages and a scattering of major towns, including Dijon.

The Burgundy-Franche-Comté region is also a great destination for food-lovers, with a number of signature dishes and AOC cheeses washed down with delicious wines.

Average property prices in this region vary from €1,622/m2 for houses and €1,769/m2 for apartments.
