On the Road Again: 2022 Burgundy and Brittany

 Covid kept us from our biennial trip to France, but we're vaccinated and boosted and ready to head to France again this spring. This year, we will be exploring the wine growing region of Burgundy for a month and then moving to Brittany for an additional 5 weeks. We once spent a week biking through Burgundy back in the 70s but didn't get to explore the larger region. There will be no bicycles this year, but I will have my mobility scooter to help me get around. 50 years makes a big difference in my energy level! Brittany has long been on my bucket list as a region I've long wanted to explore. 

Our first location is in Commarin, a hamlet about 30 km from Dijon to the north and Beaune to the south. Our house is walking distance to the Château de Commarin in the rolling hills cut by the Burgundy Canal.

In mid-May, we'll drive to Brittany where we have rented a house near Vannes in southern Brittany.

Both locations promise exciting adventures into the history and culture of two very different regions. Watch this space!
