Etymology
In Beaune, Les Teurons and Les Bas de Teurons are large plots that spread over the Montagne de Beaune slope. Their name, derived from Old French Tureau, indicates they are situated on a hill. The Old French Turel, Tureau, Thurel “knoll, hill”, probably comes from a Pre-Indo-European root *TOR “height, hill”. This noun has helped form a lot of place names in Burgundy with many different spellings: Theurot, T(h)orey, Turot.
