The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame de Beaune was built between the 12th and 15th centuries and is one of the finest examples of Burgundian Romanesque-to-Gothic architecture. The west porch, with its three blind arches of sculptural tympana, is remarkable; inside, the nave shifts from the heavy columns of the Romanesque to the more delicate pointed arches of the later Gothic additions.
The church sits just off the main pedestrian street in the old town, slightly overshadowed by the nearby Hospices but worth an hour on its own terms. Look for the Renaissance portal on the north side, added in the early 16th century with Italian detail work quite unlike anything else in the building, and the Flemish-style choir stalls.
