Hari 8
Marseille
2 Oktober 2021, Perancis ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
If ever something did not live up to my expectations Marseille was that. Tenfold.
We barely navigated the city by car to find our hotel without causing a crash in the narrow streets surrounded by savage Vespas and kids on skateboards.
People did not care.
I was never scared to walk somewhere, but this place feels unsafe.
Plus: trash. Everywhere.
We arrived at the hotel after some hassle with the garage, and decided to only stay one and not three nights as we initially planned.
It's a pity, since we hoped we could stay and explore the area, but we felt more than unwelcome.
Regarding the circumstances people are living in like the ongoing housing crisis it makes sense zhat as a tourist taking up living space you are not treated with respect, but rather viewed as a threat.
Some more reading should have done the trick...
Anyway, since we only had 3 more full days left we made the decision to move up north.
After Marseille gave us more than enough urbanism in not even 24 hours Lyon was cancelled from the plans and up came Dijon.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 9
Dijon
3 Oktober 2021, Perancis ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
We got some coffee and a petit dej at the hotel lobby and packed our stuff.
Finally moving out of this forsaken place.
One more time through the labyrinth of streets and then we made our way to Dijon.
We arrived after 5 hours of driving and what can I say, it was more than worth it.
The Airbnb is perfect, Dijon is free of trash.
After some freshening up we took an evening stroll through the medieval town center.
After getting some paraplus, it was a pleasant walk even.
Dijon is rich with old artworks and fine architecture, gothic cathedrals, renaissance buildings and overall just impressively beautiful.
We decided to cook because of the rain, so we went to get groceries on a sunday, which we can only dream of in Germany and made ourselves some nice carbonara.Baca selengkapnya

Today we went on to take a closer look at what we found yesterday already.
Dijon's center is surprisingly large and we had some 13 km on the watch by the end of the tour.
We found a path that was guided by a small owl, that took us to almost every point of interest, of course with the occassional look left and right.
We went to a Fine Arts museum for free, had some nice baguettes and coffee and even got to a small but pretty botanical garden.
Weirdly, as in Narbonne some shops were closed today.
The market hall as well, sadly.
On the way back we decided to cook for ourselves again, even though Dijon is a gastronomy capital.
There is still tomorrow to try the local cuisine.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 11
Chateauneuf & Chateau Commarin
5 Oktober 2021, Perancis ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
The last day broke off a little more slowly.
After Luka found his favorite brand of oats at a local supermarket, he was more than happy to have breakfast.
It was raining on and off the whole day, so we had coffees and just cleaned the Airbnb until we decided to move and drove to the beautiful Chateauneuf with it's castle towering on top of the hill surrounded by houses dating back up until 1000 years ago.
Impressive and intimidating at once, seeing these structures outlast generations of people.
After we walked the halls of chateauneuf we found out about another chateau closeby, Chateau Commarin.
It was just lying a few kilometers down in the valley, so we drove there.
The rain intensified, so we spared ourselves the recommended walk around the castle and went straight inside.
People really seemed to have had some nice lives back then - if they had the money that is.
The lady from the entrance was nice enough to answer a few questions and who would have thought, the owners actually still live there.
After returning to the Airbnb, we had some snacks and took it easy.
In the evening we had a resevation at Dr Wine, a restaurant with small tapas like dishes, but made of local cuisine.
The beuf bourgignonne was to die for and the wines were exquisite.
They did a really good job on trip advisor apparently, since we found ourselves among other tourists.
All in all Dijon was a really good choice to stay.
Maybe in the morning we will go buy some wine and then take off to home.Baca selengkapnya
