Beaujolais

on our way to the village in the Beaujolais

Jacques and Sebastian with the Family Castle behind them

Just getting ready to head into the cave for wine tasting

We tasted the wine...well as you can see Rod got carried away...Jacques gave Rod a sampling of some of his private Rum 47% alcohol

Jacques working in his grape field

Late lunch at a Buchion restaurant

These were the salad course and they were massive

Homemade pate superb

We all ordered the same main...Sausage cooked in wine and grape leaves Yummy!

Cute sign for mail

Beautiful

The Countryside was so fantastic to see so glad we went

The Color on the buildings from the rock is very special

After lunch we went to a medivil village Perouges hasn't changed much since the 1500's it has a population of 200 or was that 600??

Cute little abode it was so interesting to see this Medieval village with people living in it

We were so glad to have met Sebastian such a very nice man who took us on our Tour of the Beaujolais where we met his Uncle in-law who had a winery and cave the upper part of the castle that had been in the family since the 1800 was now sold for apartments as they could no longer afford to run it...they did however keep the bottom the caves were the wine is produced and sold. Let me tell you that is the best wine I have ever tasted at 5.30 euro a bottle Imagine that. We learned so much from Jacques what a nice man. Then a trip back in time to the Medieval Village what a great day...we ended it with a walk through two traboules nearby us in Lyon...what a fantastic way to end our stay in France, of course we are in Rome now but sorry to tired to do something on it tonight...
