Champagne

We said our goodbyes to Coco this morning in Dijon and started our drive north around 10.15. The drive was almost solely on one of the A motorways beginning with a 3 lane stretch and reducing to 2 lanes for the better part of 2 thirds of the trip.

With schools having restarted the density of traffic on the motorway was as low as we have ever experienced and that meant that the motorway rest stops were far less crowded.

The drive was through lovely countryside with crop paddocks as far as the eye could see interspersed with rows of “windmills” feeding power into the grid

Arrived at Vandeuil around 2.30 and checked into our accommodation which is in a delightful village surrounded by vineyards - there are at least 3 champagne houses in the village and our hosts run one of them.

It is too difficult to describe the environment so the following photos will paint the scene

Our accommodation is in this building

Our fridge has numerous bottles of champagne available to be drunk should we wish but it does come at a price!
