The province of east central France was home to the Dukes of Burgundy from the early 11th until the late 15th century. The capital of Dijon was one of the great European centres of art and science, a place of tremendous wealth and power. Our speaker Carole Petipher will follow the rise of the dukes and flamboyant lifestyle including art, fashion and gastronomy.
