Le Jura

 

Our second outing during our stay in Beaune was a quick daytrip into Jura, the mountainous region just to the east of Burgundy. The first village we visited was called Chateau Chalon, and was perched on the edge of this rocky outcropping with grape vines dotting the slopes below.

Both villages that we saw this day were on the list of The Most Beautiful Villages of France.
