3 rue du Nord Dijon, Burgundy, France, (+33)-3-80-73-36-76
... really got what, but it all tasted good.<br><br>Our trip to Burgundy would not be complete without a stop in Nuit-St. George, where we again employed the "look for the sign of whoever is open" tactic and were not dissapointed. We got to try some excellent Pinot, C******nay, and even some Aligote (a white that they mix with Creme de Cassis for an aperitif) from some of the local producers. <br>Now its up to Champagne!
Beaune, Burgundy, France tommcatt... known for the near destruction of the entire population from the plague. We decided to head to the city center after our lesson and made the 15 minute walk since we didn't want to deal with parking again. Once near the center we entered a market along one of the streets that lead to the main square that was filled with booths. Angela's cousin Tracy bought a purse but I was intrigued by the orange and purple cauliflower. Angela and her mom had taken a cooking class and ...
Beaune, Bourgogne, France t.rosile... been travelling another line and wasn't going to stop at where I needed to be. The hostel never bothered to tell me that the bus deviates from line 4 after 2000. This stop however according to the bus route map was only a street away from where I needed to be. Phew! A little sweat on the brow there.<br>Then I spent an hour looking for some place to eat after being directed by the receptionist that there was Pizza 'just across the street'. Being at an intersection; there were ...
Dijon, Burgundy, France tonkin13th July 09<br><br>Neinburg Weser<br><br>After a delightful week with my cousin Marilys and her husband Gerd at their lovely home in niemburg being shown places we would never have found without them - the painted church at Marklohe where Gerd had been Pastor, the great stone at Staatsforst Krahe, the palace at Celle, the blueberry (hfarm and cafe at Brokeloh where we enjoyed the unlikely combination of a type of potato rosti/pancake with blueberry sauce ...
Beaune, Burgundy, France pennipistle... just a short walking distance from the town, and very comfortable. We showered, ate, and took a late walk into the town.<br><br>Beaune is very attractive. We'd noticed impressive medieval ramparts on our drive through to the campsite, and now we also admired some austerely ornamental 18th century mansions, which reminded me at least of 'Marlinspike Hall' in Tintin. I also particularly liked a massy Gothic ...
Beaune, Bourgogne, France saracengill... Montraux the same day and his daughter had done it on a restricted bike in 9 hrs from where we were, I raised an eyebrow at he thought of this but said let try it. Onto the Peage (toll roads to you and me), quiet, quick, straight and serves a purpose. Not exactly what we came for but blistering speeds were reached and plenty of coffee breaks along the way, it was a means to an ends etc ...
Dijon, Burgundy, France suzukistorey... hotel. It's 7:30pm, Meg is reading her book (nope, she's not asleep) and I'm sorting out this entry. We've no plans for tonight beyond making sure that we're ready for the 9:30am departure to Bern tomorrow morning. But as always, I'll end this entry with a few observations from here in Dijon. Well, some are from Dijon, others from France in general. As it's our final entry from France we'll also be including a sort of synopsis of our trip ...
Dijon, France byrnedm... it was built, and some members of the family still live there! Their kids were playing with the dog in the yard when we pulled up--so weird! When we got back, Courtney and I went out to dinner with Olivia, a French student here that we met though one of the grad students. After dinner, we headed into Centre Ville to have a drink and enjoy Fete de la Musique. Olivia said that we had to try "Kir," which is the ...
Dijon, France guilerkj... jealous at the fact I was the one going to follow it, not him. "Come with me", I suggested. He gestured at the shop and said he wanted to, but can't. I set off on the way to 'Les Rousses' over mountain passes and through ski resorts, somewhat lacking in skiers, and snow for that matter. The sun actually shone for and hour or so. My mini-mission within a mission spurred me on. A long climb took me into the cool mountains and the odd ...
Dijon, The Jura, Gex, France jnewcomb... cheerful. The morning was foggy and even if it was sunny it got a bit chilly brrrr. I cut the whole day. Ohh I also manage to get my brother on the phone but it was cutting, I talked to my mother also while everyone was pushy to get the phone too... so I had to hang off. I'm quite angerly mad. (+) --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ----------- September 19 Tough day, tired and energyless. I cut and that was annoying ...
