DAY 15 17 June Chalon-sur-Saône


We traversed the Île de France countryside on the TGV train to Dijon, known for its famous mustard exports. We had to rush off the double decker train ASAP as our coach was packed and the poor passengers trying to get on. The train may have been a little late leaving. We enjoyed a tour of Dijon which is a most attractive city. We visited the cathedral, the Rude Museum (named after the artist not the content) and the town’s museum of fine arts that had some excellent artefacts and paintings from the 15th century.

We then transferred to Chalon-sur-Saône where the Scenic Sapphire awaited us.
