Saint Romain village
Saint Romain is one of the oldest villages in Burgundy. It definitely has a feel of days gone by, with it’s ancient streets and isolated position in a deep ravine of the Côte d’Or.
We drove up to a view point at the back of the village, which displayed a stunning sweeping view across the valley.
As we explored the quaint little village we discovered hints of its history; old buildings, some left crumbling others either renovated or being renovated, inscriptions in the stone walls over mysterious monuments, and carvings depicting the artisans that lived, or live, in this tiny village. The cross high up on the cliff stands stately and strong against the skyline.
The sleepy little village feels untouched by time.
