The trip

Well this morning we woke to another storm! We had organised a little trip to Sancerre, a beautiful hilltop town and wine region situated about two and a half hours from us. We were going with a couple of friends from our village, who were picking us up at 9.45am, meaning we’d arrive around lunchtime in the town of Sancerre.

We decided to take the scenic route, via Chaource and Auxerre. The roads were quiet and clear, however it was a bit wet, in fact it chucked it down all the way there!

We were soon crossing the Loire river, over a very majestic looking bridge, and we were all determined not to let the rain dampen our spirits. We arrived in Sancerre, as planned, and found a nice little bistro in the centre of town, where we settled down and ordered a simple chilled bottle of white Sancerre to enjoy with lunch.

We had arrived.
