France: Beaune in Burgundy

It was time to do something we hadn't done to date on the trip and go to an area famous for its wine-tasting. The town of Beaune is centrally located in the Burgundy region of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world! We decided to start our stay off here by doing something classy and going to a fine dining French restaurant where we had a 5 course meal all paired with wine. It was absolutely delicious! (Photos are in the post below as this app wouldn't allow me to put all the photos together in this post). It was our most expensive meal of the trip at €150, but was totally worth it and was a treat for the twilight stages of our trip.
The next day we had one of our favourite days of the trip. We rented bicycles and cycled through the villages of this wine growing region and sampled a glass of their produce at each village. It was a fantastic day! We ended up cycling 55km in total which was quite a distance for some non-regular cyclists. This time on the bike led to the only drawback of the day, our sore bums! However, waddling around like John Wayne for the next 2 days was a worthy price to pay for the day we had!☺️Les mer
