• Burgundy: C?te-d'Or, Sa?ne-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 r?gion, but it makes up the Franche-Comt? r?gion. Also, a small part of the duchy of Burgundy (province of Burgundy) is now inside the Champagne-Ardenne r?gion.
• Nivernais: Ni?vre d?partement
• 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 Orl?anais, depending from each of these provinces at different times in history
