This pavilion was preceded by a courtyard of honour, then the visitor found himself in the Burgundian cellar, a vast vaulted room, treated in the spirit of the old cellars but modernised in its execution.

It was the temple of wine tasting and what wines!

The back of the cellar opened onto dioramas that transported you to the middle of harmonious landscapes where vines and fir trees alternated.

Above, a garden terrace and the restaurant whose large windows opened onto floral splendours.

Around this central motif, tourism, crafts, regional art and various productions.
