We started the day with a castle breakfast and as breakfasts go in France, this one is fit for kings – with a wide variety of cold meats, cheeses, pastries, yogurts and scrambled eggs. With this breakfast under our belts it was time to head out into wine country. We drove through the cru villages just north of Beaune like Aloxe Corton and Pernand Verglesses.
We then made a brief stop in Beaune which had a very small market, but is always an interesting walk. We were able to pick up some lunch items at the market, but I think we must have had tourist written all over our foreheads because they managed to sell us sanglier (wild boar) tenderloin (dried) and tome cheese for around $50. Some lunch eh? We also added sun dried tomatoes, olives and tapenade at equally exorbitant prices. Of course we should know better, but this stuff is hard to resist.
