Bourgogne - ''This article is about the French administrative rgion of Bourgogne. For the historical duchy and province of Burgundy, as well as the cultural area of Burgundy, see Burgundy.
Bourgogne (; English: Burgundy) is one of the 26 rgions of France. The rgion of Bourgogne is both larger and smaller than the historical Burgundy. It is made up of the following old provinces: - Burgundy: Cte-d'Or, Sane-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-Comt") is not included inside the Bourgogne rgion, but it makes up the Franche-Comt rgion. Also, a small part of the duchy of Burgundy (province of Burgundy) is now inside the Champagne-Ardenne rgion.
- Nivernais: Nivre dpartement
- 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, le-de-France, and Orlanais, depending from each of these provinces at different times in history
