   We had so much fun biking through Burgundy! The bikes were E bikes which made it so easy. Matthieu gave us a list of places to stop and things to see. One caveat, he told us to stop at Phillipe Le Clerc winery which we did. I would recommend stopping to see it and maybe doing a tasting, but do NOT buy from them. It has now been two months and my wine has not shipped. They will not respond to any communication so it appears I am out $500. See more..

    Besançon surprised us with it's beauty, vivacity, and child friendliness. Lots of restaurants, gorgeous views and old city streets, and the citadel overlooks it all. The citadel is easy to reach by bus, car, or tourist train. Inside they've used the old buildings and walls to house a small zoo, bug house, frogs, aquarium, night house with small nocturnal creatures, little farm which delighted us with lots of chicks and ducklings. Two bistros and, we think, another restaurant though we didn't pass it. The bistro we chose had a nuggets and fries child menu option. Affordable and a very fun time. See more..
