The region of Burgundy is both larger than the old Duchy of Burgundy and smaller than the area ruled by the Dukes of Burgundy. It is made up of the following old provinces:
* Burgundy: Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire, and southern half of Yonne. This corresponds to the old duchy of Burgundy (later called province of Burgundy). However, the old county of Burgundy (later called province of Franche-Comté) is not included inside the Burgundy region, but it makes up the Franche-Comté region. Also, a small part of the duchy of Burgundy (province of Burgundy) is now inside the Champagne-Ardenne region.
* Nivernais: now the Nièvre department
* the northern half of Yonne is a territory that was not part of Burgundy (at least not since the 11th century), and was a frontier between Champagne, Île-de-France, and Orléanais, depending from each of these provinces at different times in history.
A Quadripartite agreement was made between Central Bohemia, Opole, Burgundy and Rhineland Palatinate in 2003 that gave rise to many activities such as a Students European Contest created in 2005, or the students literary prize. ( source Wikipedia )

Voici un extrait du vol de courte durée que j'ai fait en compagnie de mon père. Il s'agi d'un vol local au-dessus de la Côte d'Or.
L'avion est F-GBUF, un DR400-120 appartenant à l'ACCO (Aéroclub de Côte d'Or).
La caméra est une Gopro Hero3 White Edition.
