Our journey back to Dijon ended in a series of holding pattern runs that might have discouraged a dam buster bomber as we tried to aim for La Gare (Avis bay). We turned a logical left instead of an illogical right a couple of kms out of town when the road was barred with signs indicating either choice would be accepted by the barrers, but alas the left directions quickly evaporated and Jane (our GPS voice lady) was adamant that we should drive up the closed road. The target was eventually successfully reached after several evasive manoeuvres.
A compensation for this is that our hotel is in a very quiet street- it is dug up for its entire not inconsiderable length, and so there is no traffic, and today, no workers. See photo.
We spent our day walking among three free museums: cyclists please note the artistic pièce de resistance. We would have gone to a fourth, recommended by the Bureau de Tourisme, "Moses Well", but we found it deep inside a psychiatric hospital in an unmarked position, so we turned back.
Last dinner was at Moulin à Vent, at the head of Rue Forges, where we had trad burgundian fare and a half bottle of Gevrey Chambertin.



We have enjoyed your trip vicariously via the blog, but we see from your itinerary that you are now back home. This is confirmed by a visual sighting in Collins Street last Thursday by a usually reliable source!!
ReplyDeleteWe trust that the return trip was satisfactory and look forward to catching up in person at a convenient opportunity.
