C?te-d'Or (French pronunciation: [kot d??] ?) is a department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in France. In 2019, it had a population of 534,124.[3] Its prefecture is Dijon, which is also the regional prefecture; its subprefectures are Beaune and Montbard.
History
[edit]C?te-d'Or is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790. It was formed from part of the former province of Burgundy. It is arguably unique among the departments in having a name which is poetic, rather than geographic. Given by the representative of Dijon (fr:Charles-André-Rémy Arnoult), it is said to refer to the autumn gold of the flanks of the hills in the wine-growing area.[4][5]
Geography
[edit]The department is part of the current region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It is surrounded by the departments of Yonne, Nièvre, Sa?ne-et-Loire, Jura, Aube, Haute-Sa?ne, and Haute-Marne.
A chain of hills called the Plateau de Langres runs from north-east to south-west through the department to the north of Dijon and continues south-westwards as the C?te d'Or escarpment, from which the department takes its name. It is the south-east facing slope of this escarpment which is the site of the celebrated Burgundy vineyards. To the west of the Plateau de Langres, towards Champagne, lies the densely wooded district of Chatillonais. To the south-east of the plateau and escarpment, the department lies in the broad, flat-bottomed valley of the middle course of the Sa?ne.[6]
Rivers include:
- The Sa?ne
- The Seine rises in the southern end of the Plateau de Langres.
- The Ouche rises on the dip slope of the escarpment and flows to the Sa?ne via Dijon.
- The Arman?on rises on the dip slope of the escarpment and flows north-westward.
- The Arroux rises on the dip slope of the escarpment at the southern end of the department.
Climate
[edit]The climate of the department is continental, with abundant rain on the west side of the central range.
Principal towns

[edit]Economy
[edit]This is a premier wine-growing region of France. It produces what are arguably the world's finest, and definitely most expensive Pinot noir and Chardonnay wines from some of the most rigorously and painstakingly (thanks to the region's many monasteries) classified vineyards in the world. Wine from the C?te-d'Or was a favorite of the emperor Charlemagne. Other crops include cereal grains and potatoes. Sheep and cattle are also raised in the department. The region is famous for Dijon mustard.
There are coal mines and heavy industry, including steel, machinery, and earthenware. The industries most developed in C?te-d'Or are
- agriculture and food (14% of employees)
- metallurgy and metal manufacture (12% of employees)
- chemicals, rubber and plastics (12% of employees)
- pharmacy
- electrical and electronic components and equipment
- wood and paper industries.
The big works are generally in the conurbation of Dijon although the biggest (CEA Valduc) is at Salives in the Plateau de Langres. There is also the SEB metal works at Selongey below the plateau on the margin of the Sa?ne plain and the Valourec metalworking group at Montbard in the west of the department on the River Brenne near its confluence with the Arman?on. The Pharmaceutical industry has shown the greatest growth in recent years. However, since the Dijon employment statistics zone includes the urban and administrative centre of the Burgundy region, the service sector is proportionately bigger there in relation to the industrial, than in the other three zones of C?te-d'Or.

Tourism
[edit]Some of the major tourist attractions are the Gothic abbey church of Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye and the 11th-century Romanesque abbey church at Saulieu, as well the 12th-century Chateau de Bussy Rabutin at Bussy-le-Grand.[6] The Abbey of C?teaux, headquarters of the Cistercian Order, lies to the east of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the south of the department.
