This is quite an amazing area. We are staying in the small village of Bligny-sur-Ouche, in the beautiful Côte d’Or area. Above us the countryside is farming land, wheat and hay fields.
Castles and Château’s are very common. You are just driving down the road, and there they are. Shocking to us from Idaho.
The valley below Bligny is called Rhône Grand Cru region. It’s world famous for white, Pinot and Beaujolais wines. It’s a world class destination for vino. Hundreds of tasting rooms. We are doing our best to help the local economy 🍷😎
A water lock system, called Canal de Bourgogne, was built to handle transportation back in the 1400s. It still works today.
Milk cows are everywhere and cheese making is common. They are called Fromageries. Delicious. 
We are way off the beaten path. No tour buses for days😜
Small villages and city’s are everywhere, so beautiful.
The area is lovely and we are getting a little R&R away from the city. Our friends, the Harbin’s, arrive this afternoon into Dijon after a long flight from PDX, then a train ride. I won’t be posting for a while as we are moving to Vougécourt, France and trying to watch the Tour de France. And possibly a little 🍷
Au voir 😎
