Route des Grand Crus 20110427-IMG_8665

Well, it was Tuesday, April 26, I don’t remember how many days it was already, but it was another fine day. Or maybe it was the clearest day of the trip.

I came to Vezelay the night before at dusk and had to have dinner immediately, so this was the first day to walk around the town and take photos. But it’s a small village, so I finished my walk in about 30 minutes.

Then we departed from Vezelay after 11 o’clock. (We struggled to find a point to take a picture of the whole village…)

Today’s trip was easier than the previous day, the 25th. Although we made some detours, it was almost as if we were going straight on the road to Beaune.

The scenery around here is like a painting. We drove in such a scenery all the time from this morning.

Besides Vezelay, the beautiful village of

I visited two of them.

この2つの村は車だと30〜40分ほどの距離。その途中に、世界遺産のフォントネーのシトー会修道院がありましたのでこちらも訪問。

And the main part of the day is the « Route des Grand Crus ». From Flavigny-sur-Ozlan, we headed to Dijon and from there to this route.

There were many place names that I had heard even I am not so familiar with wine. I bought wine in Joubray-Chambertin and Bougeot. I was a little curious about Bougeot.

And I also went to Beaune Romanee, famous for « Romanee Conti ». I only saw the vineyards, though…

I enjoyed the Grand Cru Road more than I expected.

The overnight stay for this day is in Boerne.

さて、今日27日は日程を決めるのが難しい一日なりそうなので、また成り行きで宿泊先を探そうと思います。そうだな、、ブザンソンあたりになると予想しています。
