Hôtel-Restaurant du Commerce et Touring

In the wine region of Burgundy south of Dijon, this coaching inn served travelers along the Lyon road for two centuries before its conversion to a hotel and restaurant, stone façades, slate roofing, and shuttered windows announcing its commercial heritage. The dining room retains its original beamed ceiling and substantial fireplace; the venue holds fifty to one hundred fifty guests and keeps travelers' culture alive in its service rituals and menu focused on regional wines and game. Transportation infrastructure shaped original social function.
