Chateau de Fountainebleau

Interesting bookends to this holiday of Fountainebleau and Versailles.  I much preferred Fountainebleau but some of that is because Versailles was so crowded.  It is interesting how that affects one experience so much.

Feeding the carp who were piling up on top of each other out of the water to get the bread.

October Vacation

In France there is a week off at the end of October and we went to Paris, Fontainebleau, Versaille and Chartres.  Here we are having our roadside picnic on the way.  You will notice that we took full advantage of our time in France to sample the patisseries.  

Chateauneuf en Auxois

Another weekend in Bourgogne another beautiful place to visit, this time Chateauneuf en Auxois.

Autun

A wonderful autumn exploring Bourgogne, this weekend was the beautiful city of Autun.

Archeodrome (Beaune)

The Archeodrome in Beaune was an amazing museum that really allowed one to get the feel of how people used to live - and why the Romans were so successful!
