Three very enjoyable days in Dijon. Our apartment was very well located to walk to the main sites. First day was a walk to the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and to see the central market that was already closed. Dinner was a fabulous degustation meal at a close by restaurant with our young waiter called Brian.
Day 2 was a visit to the Cite of Gastronomie just down the road where we were able to taste a large range of wines followed by a disappointing lunch of fish. It was the Langfords anniversary, so they had a romantic dinner together while Gail and I were satisfied with a quiet night and a walk around the city.
Day 3 we walked to the market unaware that it was Ascension Day - a public holiday again in France. Large crowds wandered the streets so Gail and I found a little restaurant to retreat to where the Prix fix menu was fantastic. In the evening we returned to the degustation menu of our first night only to find it more crowded and the experience not as good. The old rule of not going back to a favourite place.
Sounds like you are having a fabulous time. We’ve had some warm sunny days in Spain although a change is on the way. Hope you’ve been able to catch some sunshine too. Lyne & Geoff
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Our weather luck has not been great, but at least we’re not walking in the rain too far. Settling into the French lifestyle.
