Paris to Beaujolais

On the road by 9:30 and Olie had to deal with some pretty intense (not "in tents", love that one) traffic leaving Paris, but we made it!

Services stop a few hours in and back on the road. We cruise past quite a few wineries in the Burgundy region. Interesting facts: France is the #3 wine producer behind Italy and Spain, 60% of the grapes here are harvested by machine, which means there still quite a bit of manual harvesting. There's also quite a lot of farms - grains and cattle, but they appear significantly smaller than what we'd be used to in Canada.

There's poppies growing in fields along the way!

Something else about the ride... Great tunes, singing, and getting to know each other better!Read more
