So, after a whirlwind tour of Dole we drove to Beaune then set off on a whirlwind cycling tour of Burgundy. We rode the 40 km round trip cycle path from Beaune to Santenay. This took in famous wine villages such as Volnay, Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet….
These are amongst the most famous vineyards in the world!
Beaune is famous for the Hotel-Dieu des Hospices de Beaune, the magnificent Gothic hospital built in 1443
The roof at the back is tiled in these multi colour patterns….
A typical French scene in the late August sunshine…..
