Just a few of the things I love about Burgundy……
We were here
The flowers
The architecture
The shops
Our Barge….ooh la la
The shutters…..French blue
The history
The markets
The chateaux
We biked along the Canal du Bourgogne, in small villages and in the magnificent vineyards along the Grand Cru Route……C’est Magnifique!

Overlooking the canal
One evening on the barge we were on our own for dinner…..so we picked up 15 pizzas and shared them with the crew on the boat! Pizza never tasted so good…..
Pizza and a good bottle of red go perfectly together!
The Charolais Cows
The fish in the market in Dijon
Our beautiful river barge Daniele ….she is one lovely boat! Looking forward to our week in Burgundy…..

Our ride in the county and Sandbanks Provincial Park was lovely….we dodged the rain and it turned out to be a good ride after all!
