Farns Niente

Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

    One last visit to the breakfast buffet then on the road early, headed south to Beaune. Not because we were going to be tourists there (it’s a lovely city)but because we were catching a train to Lyon to meet up with our former VRBO host who had discovered our missing piece of baggage and agreed to meet us at the station to return it. That mission accomplished we boarded a train returning to Beaune, hopped ack in our car and were on our way to our “real” destination, the hilltown of Vézelay. It’s another Plus Beaux Village and very worthy of the designation! Dropped our bags at our charming hotel and headed up to explore the village. Wine/beer/dinner on a terrace with a great views over the lush green countryside.
