Friday 13th brings another long drive- this time 160km. The Medieval town of Beaune provides around 70 car park spaces set aside for Motorhome parking -perfect! From the parking it was only a short walk into town, so off we set for the Tourist Information office. The Hotel de Dieu, a former hospital, was recommended for a visit as well as the Notre Dame Basilica. Following our long drive and the intense heat we were too tired for either; instead stopping for a drink and a spot of people watching before returning to the Aire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaune has a real “buzz” to it even though it’s a compact town. The next day was Market Day too so we had a lot to cram into Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saturday market was worth a look around though prices seemed high, for example poulet roti was \u20ac17 when similar were on sale in a supermarket for \u20ac8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While meandering through the market, we spotted the Basilica, so went in for a look especially at the tapestries dating back to the 15th Century. There was no audio guide, but Andrew helpfully provided his own, slightly cynical version of the scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel de Dieu did not disappoint at all, despite the hordes of tourists sharing our afternoon visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel de Dieu is a beautiful building. The fascinating story of its foundation and subsequent use and of its self funding through farming, wine production and much more was covered by the tour audio guide. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aires provide some brilliant examples of interesting parking; this clown parked in the roadway when there were many empty spaces. Doh! We also heard a Motorhome sideswipe another, which was inconsiderately parked in a short space- all 8m of him.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
