Beaune to Nantua France

Travelled:337km
Visited: Beaune, Nantua
Stay:Nantua-aire, € parking (free because we did not know where to pay) and free services GPS N46.15497 E5.59656

It was a good day for driving as the weather was wet so we weren't wasting a sunny day! We managed to stay dry whilst we were visiting Beaune and the amazing l'Hotel Dieu. This was a hospital for the poor built in 1443. It has a beautiful coloured pattern roof and another building has a slate roof. The Great Hall also had some interesting features. It was an enjoyable visit.

We couldn't resist trying out some of the nougat.

After a stroll around the old quarter and lunch, we set off again and got some kms done, getting into Nantua at 5pm. The aire was nearly full but we managed to find a couple of spots with a lovely view looking out on to the lake. Before dinner we had a walk along the lake and into Centre Ville.
