Sunshine, rain, wind and thunder, we have had it all in our few days in Beaune, Burgundy. There are worse towns to be stuck in during bad weather- wine tasting, boulangerie (bakeries), jaw dropping cheese shops and cellar doors let the day pass.
Visited the ancient cellars of Patriache, and tasted our way through their wines from a traditional steel tasting cup called a tastevin.
Here there are some of the best wine equipment stores in the whole of Europe. It is really difficult to not take half the store away with you.
We took a visit to the real 'hospice de beaune' today to get some antibiotics. Not sure how much it cost as noone seemed to want to give us the bill.
Any financial problems the French government had with its post offices have been slowly but surely overcome by our passion for magnets and waiters friends.
