From Luxembourg to Beaune in Burgundy/France and one day in Beaune

After a quiet night on the campsite and a play on the playground after breakfast, we set off straight south. We cross the border to France soon and cruise through very rural french countryside. No big, ugly power lines are disturbing the view over the slightly hilly, green landscape. We decide to drive through Dijon and head a bit further southwest to the small town Beaune which is in the middle of the Burgundy wine region.

The next day we set off with our bikes and Liam in the Chariot to discover Beaune which has a pretty old town surrounded by an old town wall. We visit the oldest wine cellars in an old convent built in 1239 and founded by Francis from Assisi and the Wine Museum where we could read all about the art ofAfter a lazy afternoon at the campsite we ride for a quick shop to a nearby supermarket to stock-up on food for our dinner in the warm evening sun.
Life is good!

Hey we've been to Beaunne with some friends. It's a beautiful town. Think we've got a picture in that wine cellar!
