Day 44 Burgundy

After just a 3 hour drive we arrived at our next site for 2 days but instantly felt we can spend a week here. Think postcard / holiday brochure pictures of rolling vineyards and quaint French villages and that’s where we are!

Stu was despatched after set-up to find some local wine – he came back with a bottle of Chablis from the vineyards we overlook – can’t wait to try it!

 

Forgot last time to share with you that as we left the south of France (admittedly the motorway junction that said left for Barcelona and right for Paris caused a few questions – Stu thought that another few weeks might be pushing his luck with work!) the road hugs the southern Alps and we saw a huge eagle just soaring on the thermals – it seemed to follow us for a couple of miles, the most majestic bird we have ever seen.

 

FOD:

There are 59 species of eagles.
