after lunch, a change of hotel

here’s the view from our new bedroom window:



Then off south, stopping first in the hamlet of Saint Point, with its (inevitable) Église Romaine





and the (privately owner-occupied) Château Lamartine, formerly eponymously owned & occupied:



nice wee place, and a decent looking campsite nearby, so we may return!



This next bit was a surprise. The posh vineyards of the Côte d’Or that we visited last trip were interesting, but less-opulent Beaujolais is actually far more scenically interesting, with far more dramatic slopes, and with some vineyards every bit as carefully-tended as anything we saw in Meursault or Vosne-Romanée (and some just as scruffy and neglected)





A nice style in promo here, too. She’s reminiscent of the graphic on the old Gitânes fag-packets you never seem to see in France anymore
