Vezelay!

After picking up our rental car we were off! Slightly jittery and nervous driving on the wrong side of the road, but we made it out of Paris! Our first stop was fontainebleau, a beautiful 1100s castle. We had another small picnic in the gardens, before heading off.

The next port of call, was a quaint and beautiful little winery in the hills called Domaine la croix montjoie. A beautiful back drop for a family run winery, we had a small wine tasting and then headed up to Vezelay

Vezelay is set atop of a massive hill and centred around a cathedral. We were fortunate enough to be seated when a traditional service was going on, which included French hymns being sung. It was absolutely breathtaking. Our accommodation was cute and perfect for the night.Read more
