Dijon! May 9th


 We had a late train ride into Dijon and checked into hotel. Next morning was bright sunny and warm. Coffee/tea in the square with delightful crossaintes and pastries. Then on to the Market. This time the streets were filled with stalls selling everything. A holiday weekend and lots of people,  all French. Saw very few tourists.



The Market was wonderful. Bought good foods to take back and lunch at La Buvette! I got us a table and we had raw oysters, wine, and yummy snacks.   Back to hotel to put the food away. City Apartment Hotel comes with a frig and a kitchen.

Then to the wonderful Park, the Cathedral, a mustard tasting and the Place de la Revolution with its fountains and beautiful buildings. 

Went to La Fine Heure for a delicious dinner.  Our third time here. Good food, good wine, and dessert!

We throughly enjoyed this fine city and our time with Christina who heads to see Paris and then home.

Deluz to Baume les Dames

 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...
