Seeing red

There’s a small village called Loches-sur-Ource about 7-8 minutes from us. It is a Champagne producing village, with a number of good producers that offer tastings. Some you can just drop by and enquire if they are available for tastings, others you need to organise a rendezvous.

Today though, we were just passing through. As we drove over the old stone bridge where you leave Loches-sur-Ource, we couldn’t help but be impressed by the red climbers creeping their way up the trees that lined the river. The colours against the bright blue sky were spectacular.

On the other bank, where there is a small picnic area, the vivid green of the lush grass stood out from the fading trees. So pretty.
