Luxembourg Gardens
These are wonderful Garden in the 6th that was beautifully manicured. The pinnacle of the park is the Palais del Luxembourg, which is where the senate operated after the French Revolution.
Day 5 - Moutarderie Fallot, Damien O'Faubourg, and Didier Rossignol's Wine Cellar in Volnay
1) Moutarderie: We started the day taking a walking tour of the mustard factory in Beaune. It was pungent -- burned the nostrils. 2) Volnay: Potentially our most memorable time of the trip was with Sebastien's old friend, Didier Rossignol. Didier and his family have been working their plot of land for generations. Didier currently operates out of his basement, which contained a wine cellar that has been aging for decades. To top off our tasting, Didier opened up a bottle of '78 Pinot that was amazing.
