Took a train ride into Dijon today, buying our tickets from the tourist office at her than the slightly confusing machine in St Jean station. Train bang on time there and back, so it was all very easy. Another blisteringly hot day and we walked a lot. Dijon is another beautiful city, the centre full of expensive stores. Of course we had to stop at the mustard shop, which was a fun experience. All sorts of different flavoured mustards including one with cassis. We bought a balsamic blend and aubergine and rosemary, hmmmm.
Went to the museum of art which had an exhibition about the Dukes of Bourgogne and their artefacts - lots of rich paintings, armoury, altars, tombs and religious decoration, all very detailed and intricate. Not entirely our sort of thing but some of it interesting.
Lunch on a pedestrian back street alongside the museum - people watching. Lots of very beautifully attired ladies drifting by.
We checked out the riverside where there are moorings, so this will be a future stop again.
