Paris to Burgundy

Picked up our car at Gare du Nord with Peter driving and me navigating and surprisingly everything went smoothly! Heading off to our base in Burgundy for a week at Chateau de Chaily - see the nighttime pic below. Very impressive, Enroute stopped at medieval village Samur en Siene - lovely stained glass in the church
,and the Abbe de Fontenane - built 1165! Very well preserved buildings - the picture of the roof was the dormitory for 200 monks and looks the hull of a boat upside down. Finished with a lovely outdoor dinner - simple fresh food - see my fig tart. We still can’t really believe we are overseas! But I’m getting used to it!Read more
