A few days in Burgundy
It feels great to be back after the holidays! I hope 2013 has been good to you so far? We spent a few days in Burgundy to relax and recharge our batteries. I'm ready for a busy & exciting new year!
The Burgundy region feels very familiar to me. I celebrated my first birthday here (don't remember it of course...) and came back very very often. To me it's like the Frenchest part of France: the cute green hills, the typical rural villages, le Canal de Bourgogne, the spoken language ( without any strong dialect ), the abbeys, castles and Roman churches... and of course the lovely wines & cheeses!
I even found my dream van, for sale at only 800 euros! Look at these pretty Citroën HY's:
We were being watched:
(it's actually a street art project by Le Cyklop at Semur-en-Auxois)
And watched down a window of the pretty Fontenay Abbey:
And saw this oil painting... also known as the reflection in the Fontenay fountain:
Have you ever been to Burgundy? How did you like it?

OMG those Citroen vans are amazing! I need one, although would I look like some kind of crepe seller?! hmm
replyAren't they cool? The car seller's dog had a wagging tail and seemed friendly. Don't worry, at 800 euros it's a bargain for such a beauty ;o)
replyBen er nog nooit geweest, maar het ziet er prachtig uit! En een Citroën HY..I love it!!
replyJa die zijn gaaf he! En gewoon een keertje naartoe gaan joh, het is er zo mooi en je hebt er heeeeerlijke kaas & wijn!
replyOui misschien moet ik dat maar eens doen :) Alleen spreek ik slechts een ietsiepietsie Frans... Maar...wijn daar zeg ik jaaaa tegen, ehh ouiii!
replyMet oui (en merci) kom je 'n heel eind hoor ;o)
