Bright bougainvilleas sweeping around centuries-old stone walls, sleepy sailboats lining harbor fronts, ancient Roman ruins reminding one of the beginning of time, cobbled alleys with hidden bar à vins (wine bars) and spiritual hotspots showcasing Romanesque-meets-Gothic architecture. How fabulous does this all sound? Cue the next 4 days in the Côte d'Azur and around the scenic pathways of Burgundy, beginning on the coast of Marseille. Unravel UNESCO-listed heritage sites in destinations like Vézelay, Marmagne (at the Abbey of Fontenay), Paris, Arles and Avignon. And wait until you glimpse medieval Semur-en-Auxois. Try specialties from these areas, like escargot (snails), macarons, grattons (crackling) and gingerbread. Amuse-toi bien!
