Beaune

Located in the south of Côte d’Or, the beautiful city of Beaune is hiding behind the fortifications surrounding it. The “Capital of Wine” is world famous for the “Hospices”, one of the most impressive architectural pieces in the region. Built in 1443 by Nicolas Rollin, chancellor to the king Philippe le Bon (Philip the Good), at the end of the Hundred Years War, its unique style was inspired by Flemish architecture. Also called “l’Hotel-Dieu”, its purpose was to serve and take care of the pauper who had fought for the French armies. From the very beginning, it was decided to create an amazing piece of art, so only the best workmen and artists were hired to achieve it. It took them eight years.

Description

Beaune is a city in Burgundy, France.

We are planning to rent a car for a 10 day trip from Paris to Loire and over to Beaune.

Can anyone provide me withan estimated drive time from Amboise to Beaune (and maybe an suggested route)?

It appears on the map I have (an avis suggested itinerary), it would be an 8 hour drive straight through. However, there may be a more straightforward route.  The Avis route is about 381 miles and has various side trip stops to select towns. 

I just want to see if we're going to have to book a night somewhere in the middle. We don't want to be rushing around and doing an 8 hour drive to get to the next place.

 I've already booked a place in Amboise, so I can't really change that part of our itinerary.

Thanks for the info in advance!
