Beaune, France

The Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune, the historic heart of the Hospices de Beaune, is an old charity hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duchy of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins, to welcome and care for the most destitute. Built in a flamboyant Gothic style with Flemish inspiration, it is globally recognizable for its roofs made of polychrome glazed tiles with geometric patterns, which have become a symbol of Burgundy's heritage. Its large 'pôvres' hall, lined with canopied beds arranged under a frame resembling a ship's hull, illustrates its hospital function, which it maintained until 1971. Converted into a museum, it notably houses the famous polyptych of the Last Judgment by Rogier van der Weyden. The institution remains associated with the auction of the wines of the Hospices de Beaune, one of the oldest and most renowned in the world, held annually for the benefit of its charitable works. The whole complex is classified as a historic monument and also includes a vineyard.

Beauvoir-sur-Mer, France

The submerged causeway of the bay of Bourgneuf, the Gois connects the island of Noirmoutier to the mainland over 4.125 kilometers — a length that makes it a unique case. The sea covers it at every high tide, under 1.30 to 4 meters of water, and it can only be crossed at low tide. The bridge of Noirmoutier has offered an alternative since 1971; the landscape ensemble it forms with the island of la Crosnière and the polder of Sébastopol has been classified since 2017.
