We stopped at around the halfway point in the Bourgogne region of France in a little medieval town called Beaune. We spent a couple of days there. It was so incredibly beautiful, and unexpected. And the restaurants! The vineyards! The waistline!Here's a picture of a drive through the countryside. Beaune was surrounded by fields of wheat and vineyards. You could drive to other small towns, each with several wine-makers, each offering tastings. Small towns were sometimes only a kilometer or two apart.
We came back with 21 bottles, and plan to return with our bikes so we can work off a small portion of the extra calories to be had there.
