et une grande montee a la fin

Yesterday we went on la grande tour de l'auto passing through several villages in the Cote D'or. We found the route in a book on Burgundy found on the house. It was a lovely drive through such pastoral and bucolic countryside. We (well, I) posted this photo on Facebook yesterday (which I called the "money shot of the day"). We loved the fact that we caught the cattle all walking in a row amidst such a peaceful setting.

Today was a reprise of our 10 Villages Tour except we added on one more village near the end (Chorney Les Beaune) -- only an extra 5 kms. Great ride -- we love this route and it was, again, a beautiful sunny day in Burgundy! We were out for close to 4 hours with a couple of stops for coffee along the way. Such fun, but "une grande montee a la fin!"
