When we left the Rhine area we headed for France and the Dijon area. We are staying in Dijon for a couple of nights to check out the local cuisine. While it can be said that it is just another medieval city, we are finding that it is very relaxing to walk the narrow streets and there is still a WOW!! factor as you turn a corner a see a building that was built some 500 – 1000 years ago.
Maggie tried the escargot (snails to me) last night and said they were great, I personally stuck with the Fois gras (Pate), real gourmandes ain’t we??
From here we are heading into the Champagne area, and hope to get a self catering unit for a week or more, so we can relax, do a bit of cooking and prepare ourselves for the next part of our journey to the United States.
The time is now going very quickly and we will be home in 5 weeks.
