A late summer's day
The morning was quite brisk today and we thought maybe this was going to be the start of the cooler autumn weather we have been expecting. Not so. Today was probably the hottest day we have had since leaving Paris, around about 30 I reckon. Perfect weather for driving around the country side and visiting a chateau or two. We planned a pretty basic day again today. Off to a small town called Saint Fargeau that has a large ...
A town called Auxerre
... a fabulous gateway. As the heart of this town it was a great shopping/restaurant precinct. Everything beautifully maintained. We had lunch down on the Quai, at a lovely restaurant right by the water. This town is certainly one of the hlghlights. Our last day in Varzy tomorrow. We are surrounded by forest but struggling to find a place to walk in it. Giving a new direction a go tomorrow - off to a castle near a forest and a ...

Drove through a very pretty Robin Hood-type forest on our adventures this morning. Autumn here is lovely, the forests ...

Haven't made up my mind about this village we're staying in - sometimes feels like we're staying on the set of a horror movie set in the 1600's. We're planning on going to the village market tomorrow and exploring the village a little bit ...
A day exploring the French countryside
... for the things that I can make sense of - if there's a word or two in the description that I can't work out I pick something else. Not Roger. Walking back to the car we discovered that the crowds were really for the Chablis annual Fete de Naturale. Decided we'd go and have a look as it seemed to be a bit like a country show or agricultural fair. Wrong again. This was a fair devoted entirely to hunting: with dogs, guns, bows and arrows.
