Beaujolais





We are back after a week of travelling the length of France and back again.  We stopped about half way between Paris and the South coast in the Beaujolais region.  I love Beaujolais wine but not the nasty Nouveau stuff which is horrible.  The best wines are from the villages.  We toured around a few of them, it was picturesque.  Lovely little villages with beautiful churches and surrounded by vines.  We visited Saint Amour, Julienas and Fleurie.  In Julienas there is a church from the 1st century!!!  However it´s not used as a church anymore, they have a newer one next door.  The old church is now for wine tasting!!  The first picture is inside the ancient church in Julienas, the sign says "not a good meal without Julienas".  

Jarle, Ben and Mia climbed this cliff (I stayed at the bottom with my dodgy back!)
