Hotel de la Poste Beaune

... however those ticket bays looked angrier and more modern, and as I knew it would, wouldn't let me OUT of the metro so I had to wait until someone entered and while the doors were still open get out.
I had about five hours to spend in Paris but I wasn't feeling too well so I went and put my head down in the nearby park, yet it was too cold and windy so I spent the rest of the time in the train station. The bad thing about the French trains is that they won't announce ...

... Walking back to the van clutching our precious bottle - we're not used to paying £8.60 for a bottle of wine - we were stopped by a Begian couple who had pulled up in their camper. Being Belgian, their English was very good, and we described our tasting experience, mentioning that a single bottle of the second cheapest was a full 10eu!. Ten minutes or so later, they were on their way back to their van towing a trolley laden with three cases. Within the ...

... The Hotel Dieu had two wards, one for the poor with small beds made for two, and the other for the rich with larger beds and "skylights" in the draperies so they could admire the ceiling art. The Pauper's Ward had a large chapel so patients could pray and prepare for death. The patients in the rich man's ward were more likely to survive and therefore had no chapel to repent. Both ward were served by an ...

... and the pooper was glad to cooldown.

5.45pm and we arrived at the Chathole F1 in Dijon, checked in and on requesting some towels were presented with 3 travel size kleenex, that weren't going to cover anyone's modesty especially Python Foster. Richard used his dancing shoes and suggested that we visited the Ikea that we passed just down the road to procure the said python covering towels, although Kev did say that he would be happy with a ...

The journey from Dunkirk went well. Soon we were on the A25 to Lille and soon enough after on the A26 to Reims; the miles smoothed away. We stopped occasionally at services - which the French do better than anyone else - and came off the motorway for a short while at Chalons en Champagne to fill up more cheaply. This little excursion was made especially interesting by a brief attempt on my part to drive on the left - it ...

... festivals in the Nartex, and if pilgrims came to participate, they slept there The chateau of Cormartin was built in the 17th century. This was before the idea of having special rooms for each purpose was thought of. So you have the chamber of madame and the chamber of messieur with a common chamber between. It's very likely they might eat in the bed chamber, and even invite some friends ...

... it was very pleasant. I couldn't wait to see what the finished product would taste like with a year or more in the bottle. We made our way around the corner and found a little tasting station in place there; a small table with 9-10 bottles of white and red arranged in a similar manner to that at the first domaine. Curiously, this was the only domaine where no spittoon was provided. Instead, Ulrich encouraged us to employ the méthode à l'ancienne and spit between the barrels ...

... maps and transport info for granted...they really help diffuse a lot of the stress! So, we had fun seeing some of the neighborhoods and the beautiful, large houses on our way to the city center. When we got to the city center it was actually quite cute. The buildings where soooo old and made out of wood and plaster so they were literally leaning...it's a wonder that more of them haven't fallen down yet based on the angle that they're leaning. Since it was Sunday ...
