I will be travelling in Burgundy in March to see art and architecture of the region. So far I have plans to see Hospices de Beaune, The Cathedral in Vezelay, the works of Gislebertus(my favorite) in Autun. We will be traveling by train or bus (no car) so some places, like the Abbey of Fontenay, will unfortunately be out of our reach. I would love your recommendations for art and architecture in this region. I especially enjoy Romanesque scupture, but also love Gothic, tapestries, stained glass, etc. Oh, and if you know of any budget (under 70 euros for a double) hotels/b & b's centrally located in the towns I'd appreciate that info too!

We had booked a self bargin vacations on the Canal du Nivernais. Due to the renting company policy we have to pick up and drop off the boat in Vermenton. I have some unresolved issues regarding these vacations and would appreciate assistance in replying to all or part of my questions: 1) We booked a train from Paris to Auxerre, but could not figure our how to get from Auxerre to Vermenton (some 40 km.). Is there another train? Bus? Cab? I also suspect that the mooring place is not in Vermenton but some 5-10 km. west. Am I right? 2) On our way back we plan to rent a car and to before returning to Paris, to spend 2 nights in the Loire Valley. Somehow, the closest place for car rental I could find was Auxerre (again..). Is there a car rental office in Vermenton or close to it? 3) As to the barging itself, it should be (as I mentioned above) a round trip from and to Vermenton. As our company had taken already the northern route to Joigny, we think to take mainly the south direction. In view of the car rental issue above, and also as we would like to visit some wineries south of Auxerre, my plan is to head south down (up?) to Chatel Censoir (to pay a visit to VEZELAY Cathedral), not to continue more south to Clamecy, but rather to return via Vermenton to Auxerre (renting a car there) and then to Vermenton for returning the boat. Is this plan feasible on a leisure (not too fast) pace or should we cut our sail toward south at norther place (Le Saussois or nearby)? Well, I hope it is not too much to ask and hoping to receive answers. Thanks in advance, Hillel

Bonsoir, I am planning a day trip to Dijon and I would like to visit some wineries or small towns nearby by push bike. Does anyone know whether this is possible, ie are there any bike paths and wineries within 20-30 kilometres of Dijon? Je ferai un voyage a Dijon pour un ou deux jours et j'aimerais visiter des vignobles ou un autre petit village, préférablement du moyen âge, a vélo. Est-ce vous savez s'il est possible de le faire? Je veux savoir s'il y a des pistes de vélo et/ou des vignobles a court distance de Dijon (entre 20 et 30 kilomètres). Thank you! Merci d'avance!
