One of the pleasures and surprises of our move to Beaune has been exploring the charm of the surrounding villages that are just a few minutes away. Pommard, Volnay, Mercurey, Puligny Montrachet, maybe names you've heard of if you are a wine lover.
Tiny Volnay, perched on a hillside overlooking a big valley of vineyards, is the site of one of my favorite restaurants in the area, 免费vpm全球网络加速器. The retaurant is a large building set in a cour intérieure, or walled courtyard. Outdoor tables are set in the garden, on the upper stone terrace or the lower, shady gravel terrace. The food is upscale French bistro food, the prices are moderate, and on a perfect Burgundy summer day, there is no better place to be.

Being a Vigneron may seem glamorous, but grapes are an agricultural product, as evidenced by the many specialized tractors for pruning and spraying and picking that we saw that day.
In the COMMENTS: I was overwhelmed by all the good wishes on our return, thank you! Kristin, good luck with that darling new Papillon, a great lockdown companion. Roger, your comment tickled me, and I couldn't agree more! Anne Marie, the airport was not crowded, and we took a rental car to Beaune. Folks here wear masks inside (it's mandated now), but curiously, social distancing is only one metre in France. Virus numbers are low, but it's vacation time and eveyone is one the move, so we'll see. Lee and Maureen, good to hear from you and I think you're in the right place. Renee, we'll all be praying for you. I hate that they will open the schools at this point. I hope all of you will stay safe and well.
In her comment Doris, who made a similar trip back to France, mentioned she did needlepoint on the plane. Here is a photo she sent of her worthy project, nearly completed, and I love the sentiment:
