We gathered at Gare de Lyon and arrived in Dijon in less than 2 hours on the TGV which was a really nice ride. I think all needed a day to decompress from the intensity of Paris city life. Dijon has been a much lower key experience, but I think all have adapted to it quite well. Sunday we had a nice meal at a good restaurant nearby the hotel. Yesterday waas a great day as you can see from the photos. We visited the Cote d'Or, the richest wine country anywhere. Our guide, Yannick, was very knowledgeable and a quite nice man. We visited the chateau which is the home of the Order of the Tastevin for a lecture on the history and organization of the wine production of Burgundy. Then armed with new knowledgb went to two wine tastings and tours of important wineries. I can reeport that most all used the spittoons and did not swallow each taste. none the less it was a tired quite3crowd on the way home. We head for Blois this afternoon.
