Dijon

We have had a lovely time in Dijon and were supposed to be in Vezelay  now, BUT when we went to pick up the car we had booked (and paid for] we discovered that the car hire place isn't open on Sunday. Very frustrating. We have managed to get another room in Dijon and are hoping that we can get our car in the morning! Otherwise, our stay here has been delightful. It is a beautiful place with lovely buildings, very good restaurants and food and good museums as well. Here are some of Bruce's photos of Dijon. These are gargoyles on one of the cathedrals.
 There are many very old half timbered houses and lots of historical buildings throughout the centre of the town.








 We went to a museum in the Palais des Ducs which was an impressive building and had many beautiful paintings, statues and historical pieces.
 This was one of the ceilings.
 Here I am having a rest!
