Our second day in France started with an extensive breakfast and a change in our itinerary. The highly anticipated truffle hunting experience in the forests of Burgundy got replaced by a professional wine tasting in a wine cellar built in the 13th century, one of Beaune’s oldest.
At around midday we made our way to a beautiful restaurant, which is famed for its Coq au Vin and we enjoyed a traditional French three-course lunch. After the second feast of the day, an exploration of Cote de Beaune’s vineyards was on the agenda and lots of pictures were being taken. We would have loved to take even more but we had to stick to our schedule.
In the late afternoon, we visited the historic Hospices de Beaune and enjoyed a tour by a lovely guide.
