The exterior is especially stunning and the church dominates a square filled with cafes and restaurants and numerous medieval buildings that are still in use today as shops, restaurants and for residential use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The tourist office here also supplies a self-guided tour and to supplement that, we&#8217;re stopped by a local who gives us lots of recommendations etc, then as he goes on his way, he mentions that he&#8217;s a &#8220;greeter&#8221; So lovely to meet people who are so proud of where they live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our neighbour at this Aire is Jo, a German who sold up and hit the road 4 years ago. He pops round for a chat and he tells us a bit about where he&#8217;s been so far. Basically he chases the sun, so he&#8217;s now en route for Spain for Winter. Apparently he&#8217;s never been to the UK. But we do have sun there, honest&#8230;.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening we discovered Pizza street, and we chose one of the many restaurants for dinner. I asked for a 50cl bottle of wine, the waiter then asked what wine Andrew wanted. Huh, do I look like a wine drinker or what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were also accosted in the street by a Frenchwoman who asked if we&#8217;d been to Beaune the other day..well, yes we had. It seems she had recognised us, and started the tourist info spiel on the area, especially Dijon, which we &#8220;must visit&#8221;.  A lovely &#8220;extra&#8221; though slightly un-nerving..had she been stalking us since Beaune? Anyhow Chalon is certainly a city we&#8217;d highly recommend for a visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to visit a big city.
