I’m on a mission. I’ve completed a hard target search and ascertained that*my* shoes are to be found in Strasbourg. I’ve located the shop, checked their hours and talked Himself into taking me there. I […]
Month: July 2024
2024 Day 80 – Riquewihr
We edge a smidge further north today, to Riquewihr, yet another picture postcard pretty Les Plus Beaux Village. Our path is lined with endlessly perfect rows of vine plantings. Their meticulous lines are deeply pleasing […]
2024 Days 77 & 79 – Egiusheim
Some places leave marks on your heart, pretty as a picture, straight out a fairytale. These are the places you hope to revisit and if you’re really lucky, revisit yet again. Much of Germany was […]
2024 Day 76 – North, to Reneve
We leave Dijon this morning, pressing north into our last month of travel. It’s going to be a bit of ‘meh’ day without much to show for it other than gaining distance on motorways. Still […]
2024 Days 74 & 75 – Dijon
We’d be remiss to be in Bourgogne and not stop at its capital, the exceedingly elegant Dijon. With Paris alternatively focused, Dijon offers a city experience without the Olympic crowds. We’re fortunate to stay on […]
2024 Days 71 – 73 Meursault and Autun
We bid adieu to lovely Beaune. It would be easy to stay. A wine degustation tomorrow, another lunch perhaps. A stroll through the Sunday brocante in the search for a new piece to add to […]
2024 Days 69 & 70 – Beaune
Ah the lovely Beaune. Set in the heart of Bourgogne, it never fails to delight. Beaune’s ancient centre bustles with restaurants and shops but its true soul lies in winemaking. It’s also famed for its […]
2024 Day 68 – Prisse
We’re in Bourgogne, well away from the Alps now, in glorious wine country. Vines as far as the eye can see. Lushly green gently undulating hills. Picture postcard pretty. Along the west we pass Lyon, […]
2024 Day 67 – Sainte Croix en Jarez
There’s nothing quite like having a knowledgeable tour guide to expand one’s understanding. Whilst we’re often hampered by a lack of being able to speak French, for once it’s to our advantage. The village of […]
2024 Day 66 – Saint Antoine l’Abbaye
Himself is determined to push further north, I was hoping for a more sedate pace . I feel I’m yet to find my groove this year. All those times I dragged myself onto a plane, practically […]
