When initially planning the PHC cruise, we decided to hang a few days at the end of the trip. After fussing around with various options, we decided to do a short trip to the Burgundy region of France and to do our local travel via bicycle. Marcia arranged our Burgundy trip through Detours in France
The schedule was:
| Monday, July 23 | Travel from Copenhagen through Amsterdam to Lyon and spend the night |
| Tuesday, July 24 | Travel via train from Lyon to Beaune, pick up bicycles and pedal to Nuit St George for the night |
| Wednesday, July 25 | Do a ride around Nuit St George, returning to spend the night in the same B&B |
| Thursday, July 26 | Bike from Nuit St George back to Beaune |
| Friday, July 27 | Take the train back to Lyon and fly to Amsterdam for the night |
| Saturday, July 28 | Fly from Amsterdam back to Seattle |
We had a wonderful time on our short trip and would love to go back. Below are some photos we took along the way.
The Hospices de Beaune (aka Hotel Dieu) a hospital built in the fifteenth century.
A few bottles of wine (vintage 2000) aging in the wine cellar of a winery we visited.
It was sunny and the traffic on the roads we traveled was generally light.
The roads are usually well marked
and they do very well.
