About the city
Bourgogne is one of the 26 regions of France. It is made up of the old provinces of Burgundy, Nivernais and the northern half of Yonne which was not part of Burgundy. The region of Bourgogne is both larger than the old Duchy of Burgundy and smaller than the area ruled by the Dukes of Burgundy.
A Quadripartite agreement was made between Central Bohemia, Opole, Bourgogne 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.
