Although the Duchy of Burgundy itself remained in the hands of France, the Habsburgs remained in control of the other Burgundian inheritance, notably the Low Countries, and often used the term Burgundy to refer to it (Burgundian Circle), until the late 18th century, when the Austrian Low Countries was lost to French Republic.

 Burgundy
Peaceful, rural Burgundy is one of the most prosperous regions in modern France, but for centuries its powerful dukes remained independent of the French crown.
There's evidence everywhere of this former wealth and power, both secular and religious: in the dukes' capital of Dijon, in the great abbeys of Vézelay and Fontenay, in the ruins of the monastery of Cluny (whose abbots' influence was second only to the pope's), and in the châteaux of Tanlay and Ancy.
Because of its monastic foundations, Burgundy became – along with Poitou and Provence – one of the great church-building areas in the Middle Ages.
