I took myself and the kids of course off to Bourgogne for the weekend to stay with my sister-in-law, Fifi, short for Anne-Sophie. She has a littel boy - Romaine, so the kids spent the entire weekend amusing each other. It was great and we drove around a bit exploring the area.
Mersaulat famous for its rooves with all the different coloured tiles. The grapes are just about ready for harvest and the vines were dripping.
Pretty towns.
Kids in the park in Chagny, with there cousin and Aunty.
On Sunday we did the market. It's a big one in Chagny and offers all sorts of things. Famous for its wild mushrooms and Chicken - Poule Bresse, we didn't buy one however as they are three times the normal price. I was interested in the fans, all the cheese and dried sausage stands had fans blowing. It wasn't particularly hot, so I asked, and they are to distribute the smell of stinky cheese and sausage, makes you buy more. Worked too.
The stinky cheese stand, good stinky though.
On Monday it was a public holiday so instead of fighting traffic I stayed the extra day. We went for a walk along the canals in Chagny. Really pretty and lots of blackberries along the road side for picking. Samuel got a pair of roller blades from Uncle Guy for his birthday (early) so he put them to good use.
It was a great weekend.
