Day 3
Drove to town of Chablis - coffee on terrace, bought good picnic stuff. Alan led a mystery tour of premier cru vineyards - even though he didn't know where he was going either. Ended up in a wine makers in Chablis and bought some Petit Chablis that tasted good. Onto autoroute as time needs to be managed. Picnic site on autoroute was great - lovely wood and clean loos. Checked in to a French equivalent of Premier Inn but with a pool - at Marsannay La Cote near Dijon. Reverted to basic food as we are all gourmeted out!!
Day 4
Still in Marsannay la Cote. Visited sunday market and bought lovely produce to eat later. Visited Dijon which is a lovely city in spite of what the rough guide says. Just had to eat Boef Bourgignon and buy some Dijon mustard. Back for a swim and relax by the pool in 26 degrees. Tomorrow we head towards the south via Nuit St George and Beaune. Got to spend less as kitty is going down fast!!!
