24 April 2017 – Rives du Lac
Lovely day for travelling, sunshine all the way. As usual with this campsite it closes for a 2 hour lunch break and we always arrive too late, so we drove to the supermarket, Leclerc, and it was closed even longer for lunch so in desperation visited a nearby boulangerie we knew about and treated ourselves to a lovely cake to die for. Problem solved. The lake for a change has some water in so we had a couple of walks down to it.
Picture below Winter? Summer!
22 – 23 April 2017 – Chalon sur Saone
43 minutes only today along the back roads through the vineyards. Booked in and then walked into the town along the river. Not much to the town but looked around the cathedral.
Back to the campsite for lunch and a laze about in the sun. After we had got into bed this evening the weirdest music ever started up, a single toy drum accompanied by some one trying to get their foot out of a bear trap. How odd!! The good thing is it only lasted 3 hours and ended up with fireworks, or could have been the singer getting blown up.
Next day into town again to look around the Sunday market, other than that the town was dead, not a patch on Beaune.
Image above, spot the caravan site.

19th April 2017 – Camping Cent Vignes, Beaune
Very cold start to the day, 5C. Changed pitches as the one we were on wasn’t suitable. Had a difficult job on the narrow road ways on this site as the bushes are just the height of the wing mirrors and caught both of them. Had a walk up into the vineyards then back for some lunch then into town to pick up some food for tea.
