From a beautiful and remote hunting lodge near the village of Joux-La-Ville we took several excursions to the northern area of the mountainous massif Morvan.

Next stop at Tournus in the Saône-et-Loire department with its former Benedictine abbey St Philibert. Visits to the neighbourhood, especially Cluny which once held the world’s largest church until it was surpassed by St Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
Charleville-Mézière & Sedan
On the way back we took a break for a few days at Charleville-Mézière, birthplace of the omnipresent poet Arthur Rimbaud and the “World Capital of Puppetry Arts”.
