- This article is about the French administrative région of Bourgogne. For the historical duchy and province of Burgundy, as well as the cultural area of Burgundy, see Burgundy.
Template:Bourgogne infobox Bourgogne (Template:Audio; English: Burgundy) is one of the 26 régions of France.
The région of Bourgogne is both larger and smaller than the historical Burgundy. It is made up of the following old provinces:
- Burgundy: Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire, and southern half of Yonne. This corresponds to the old duchy of Burgundy (later called "province of Burgundy"). However, the old county of Burgundy (later called "province of Franche-Comté") is not included inside the Bourgogne région, but it makes up the Franche-Comté région. Also, a small part of the duchy of Burgundy (province of Burgundy) is now inside the Champagne-Ardenne région.
- Nivernais: Nièvre département
- the northern half of Yonne is a territory that was not part of Burgundy (at least not since the 11th century), and was a frontier between Champagne, Île-de-France, and Orléanais, depending from each of these provinces at different times in history
