Yup, we’re still in Burgundy..this region has really “grabbed” us, and not only because of the wonderful wines we’ve discovered. Givry was chosen because a) it’s another free Aire and b) it’s adjacent to the Voie Verte cycle route and oh, we do like a good cycle route and c) the aire has picnic benches, one of which we nab for use at lunchtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its a surprisingly bustling little town and having found a space in the Aire we then found Tourist information open at the second attempt. The jeune homme working there supplied us with a token for the fresh water at the aire – \u20ac2.50 for 100 ltrs- and offered us free tastings of wine…..eek, don’t tempt us! In 32 degree heat, lunchtime degustations are a dodgy idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet again, we’re the only Brit van, but we exchange Bonjours where appropriate and it’s all quite amicable even when some vans try to squeeze in a tad too close to their neighbours. After dinner, again at “our” picnic bench, we sit watching bats skitting about through the air….what a treat! A second night is on the cards, as we want to try the cycle route, and next morning we head off to Buxy. It’s a beautiful route through vineyards, on totally traffic free paths- albeit we have to negotiate a few junctions and gates but we only encounter about three cars. Not bad. The edge of Buxy provides a cafe\/bar where we each have a well- deserved Monaco. Purely to rehydrate of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
