An Archaeological Tour of Southern Burgundy
Scott Madry, PhD

 Bibracte, the major oppidum of the Celtic tribe the Aedui - There is an excellent Museum of Celtic Civilization there that shows life in the oppidum at the time of Julius Caesar and how the strong defensive walls of the oppidum were built-
The Roman city of Augustodunum (modern Autun) and its Musée Rolin, which has rare antiquities and medieval remnants from the famous Gothic Church of St. Lazare nearby-
Mont Dardon, a small satellite oppidum of Bibracte on which was later built a Roman place of congregation and a Christian church-
Roman tile works in Gueugnon-

Roman Burgundy

Included in the one day tour will be the Roman city of Augustodunum (modern Autun) and the Musée Rolin and several nearby sites. A delightful picnic lunch will be held ourdoors and the day will be capped off with a delicious authentic Burgundian dinner with a selection of fine wines.
The Wines of Burgundy
Scott Madry, PhD
This one day tour will begin and end in Beaune, the beautiful heart of the Burgundy wine region. In the morning we will visit several of the world’s finest producers, including a visit to the famed Clos de Vougeot, home of the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. An afternoon tasting will be held at the Marché au Vins, and the day will be capped off with a delicious authentic Burgundian dinner with a selection of fine wines.
You will visit the TEMPLE DES TROIS GRÂCES in the Jardin Botanique de l’Arquebuse, Dijon. It was built circa 1780 in the English garden of the chateau of Bessey-les-Cîteaux and moved in 1963 to the Jardin Botanique de l'Arquebuse, Dijon, France. Significant architectural models of the temple from antiquity will be only an introduction to the story of the structure that features over-sized statues of the Three Graces, according to mythology, Venus' companions. Its proximity to the burial place of the 15th-century Dukes of Burgundy, its setting in a former musketeer shooting range will fascinate those who join the tour. If desired, a gardener of the five-hectare expanse of 3,500 species of native and exotic flowers and plants in which the temple now makes its home will conduct a short tour of the botanicals. Lunch at a nearby Dijon restaurant will follow the tour.

Tour/Workship/Seminar Leaders
Carole Crumley, PhD
Dr. Crumley brought the French Project to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) when she joined the faculty in 1977. Until then she was at the University of Missouri at Columbia. Current Project participants include students and faculty from UNC-CH as well as the Universities of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA) and Edinboro (Pennsylvania, USA), Strasbourg and Bourgogne (France), and the Centre Archéologique Européen du Mont Beuvray (Glux-en-Glenne, France).
Sarah Madry, MEd, designs lectures on landscape and garden history that express the continuity of forms, ideas, and symbolism in landscapes across a two thousand-year period. She holds two degrees from the University of North Carolina in French and media and curriculum planning and has been visiting European gardens since 1959. Each presentation explores the creation of grand estate gardens in the United States and Europe, emphasizing their descent from ancient gardens and their use of mythology, literary allusion, and political references to make statements in the art of landscape according to the topical cultural and political fashions and trends of the time of their creation.
