We left in the afternoon as it is a short trip to Baume les Dames. All good on a sunny day. The capitainierre has a nice restaurant steps from the boat. Enjoyable outside patio as well. We are away from the town so it is quiet, and the Super U store just a walk away. On Sunday there was a big garage sale in the parking lot of the store. We found all sorts of good things to supplement the clothes that we didn't have! Good fun too. We bicycled to a lock up the ways and helped a new boating friend, Jean Pierre, with a large lock. Explored the area. Another day we hiked up to the Croix de Chatard, high up on the cliff overlooking the town. Great views up there of all of the area. Made it a loop trip and the second half was a worse trail and steep! Glad we had hiking poles and that we made it down. Turned out that we ended up at the place we had biked to! Next time we go back down the other way. Had dinner at the Capitainierre...
In Chalon there is a street filled with good restaurants. We picked one of them La Canailles and went for a lovely lunch. After a few days there, we went on the train to Dijon. Ann has an early train so we stayed in Dijon. Went to the Museum of Cultural History, Musee de la Vie Bourguigogne. Wonderful exhibit of clothing and all sorts of history of the area. Went to La Fine Heure restaurant for a delightful last meal with Ann. Memorable. We had been there in 2022 with Nicole and Andrew. Left early for the train and saw Ann off. Sorry to see her go. Heard she made it to CDG!! And got home OK. We spent the day in Dijon; going to the Market, wandering streets, early dinner and off to the train to Chalon. Next day discovered we were mired in river debris!! Took three men 2 hours to clear it including a power boat creating a wake. Chores day luckily so we can leave tomorrow.
