NZ to Dijon

Well we made it to Dijon by various modes but after much weariness getting here, we have really enjoyed our time in pretty Dijon .Jane describes it as a rustic Bordeaux. The highlight was meeting up again with our fellow Camino walkers Jane and Lee which was celebrated by beautiful French cuisine dining Al Fresco and the wine to go with it.
Dijon is the gateway to the Burgundy region with a beautiful old palace once inhabited by the Burgundy lords in the centre of yhe town housing a huge collection of medieval art mainly featuring Jesus and his followers and rather chubby Madonnas!
After our touch of culture we spent the rest of the day enjoying the cafes the people and all the charm France can give.
Would highly recommend Dijon as a city to visit known of course for its mustard. We did try the local delicacy of truffles on buttery breas. Absolutely delicious!
Now sitting at train station to take train to Lyon. What adventures await and I think our first day of walking will be a shock!Leggi altro
