Beaune is usually our stopover on way to SoF.

Very pretty town. Lots of hotels.
Thanks - I'll look at that, it looks tempting and
I can see that it's ideal for a SoF stopover,
but it's relatively close to my final destination
so ideally I'd like something little further north.

Reims - Epernay …… I can see this becoming a rather expensive stopover in terms of alcohol biggrin

The result …...

On the way down we stopped at Dijon and spent the evening, and the next morning there -
We thought it an attractive city, but felt that it was enough time to get the flavour of it (not the mustard biggrin).

On the way back we stayed in Gevrey Chambertin at: https://www.rotisserie-chambertin.com/
nice rooms, very pleasant staff, and an excellent restaurant with a fantastic wine list.
