It’s Wednesday and we’re on the road again. The city of Dole, in Jura, is our next destination. We’ve never been to Jura so we’re keen to see what it has to offer. As luck would have it, it’s Market Day tomorrow and we’re hoping it’s going to be authentic and cheap. We won’t be flashing the cash otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After replenishing the fridge in the Geant Casino supermarket outside Dijon, we avail ourselves of some of their Gazole too, though the fuel price wasn’t the best we’d seen. It was simply convenient to fill up at the same location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Motorhome Aire in Dole was easy to find- especially when we saw a row of about 20 Motorhomes together, a tell-tale sign. Free parking, near the river and within about 3 minutes walk of the city centre. Starting walking up pedestrian streets, we reach Tourist Information, in an altogether busier area. It turns out Dole has a self-guided walking tour similar to Dijon, though this time it’s cat symbols on the pavements, not owls, which show our way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s quite a meander, revealing beautiful gardens and impressive buildings, among them the Hotel Dieu, previously a hospital for the poor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collegiate Church of Notre Dame dominates the skyline, and we have a direct view of this from our parking spot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dole is proud of its history and its famous residents from the past, notably Louis Pasteur and the writer Marcel Ayme, whose book about the “chat perche” inspired the theme of the guided tour, and there is a Food Festival this weekend. Sadly we will miss that as we’re moving on tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
