'''Côte-d'Or''' ({{IPA|fr|kot dɔʁ|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-GrandCelinien-Côte-d'Or.wav}}) is a [[Departments of France|département]] in the [[Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]] [[Regions of France|region]] of Northeastern France. In 2019, it had a population of 534,124.<ref name=pop2019>[https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/fichier/6011060/dep21.pdf Populations légales 2019: 21 Côte-d'Or], INSEE</ref> Its [[Prefectures in France|prefecture]] is [[Dijon]] and [[Subprefectures in France|subprefectures]] are [[Beaune]] and [[Montbard]].

== History ==

Côte-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 France|province]] of [[Burgundy (historical region)|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.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|access-date=19 October 2022 |author=[[Le Bien Public]] |date=9 April 2014 |language=fr |title=La Côte-d'or, une histoire qui dure depuis 224 ans |url=https://www.bienpublic.com/actualite/2014/04/09/la-cote-d-or-une-histoire-qui-dure-depuis-224-ans}}<!-- auto-translated from French by Module:CS1 translator -->.</ref><ref>{{cite book|date=2021 |first1=Pierre-Henri |isbn=978-2-87772-769-3 |last1=Billy |oclc=1309874211 |title=Dictionnaire des noms de lieux de la France (DNLF)|publisher=Errance }}<!-- auto-translated from French by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>

== Geography ==

The department is part of the current [[regions of France|region]] of [[Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]]. It is surrounded by the departments of [[Yonne]], [[Nièvre]], [[Saône-et-Loire]], [[Jura (department)|Jura]], [[Aube]], [[Haute-Saône]], 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 [[Côte d'Or (escarpment)|Côte 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 wine|Burgundy]] [[vineyard]]s. To the west of the Plateau de Langres, towards [[Champagne (province)|Champagne]], lies the densely wooded district of Châtillonais. To the south-east of the plateau and escarpment, the department lies in the broad, flat-bottomed valley of the middle course of the [[River Saône|Saône]].<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Côte-d'Or|volume=7|pages=248–249}}</ref>

Rivers include: 
* The [[Saône]]
* 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 Saône via Dijon.
* The [[Armançon]] 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 ===

The climate of the department is continental, with abundant rain on the west side of the central range.

== Economy ==
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 Côte-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 Côte-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 Saône plain and the Valourec metalworking group at [[Montbard]] in the west of the department on the River Brenne near its confluence with the Armançon. 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 [[Bourgogne|Burgundy region]], the [[service sector]] is proportionately bigger there in relation to the industrial, than in the other three zones of Côte-d'Or.

== Tourism ==
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 Château de Bussy Rabutin at [[Bussy-le-Grand]].<ref name="EB1911"/> The [[Abbey of Cîteaux]], headquarters of the [[Cistercian Order]], lies to the east of [[Nuits-Saint-Georges]] in the south of the department.
