Stigny, France

We stayed in a quiet village called stingy. The village was in a small valley surrounded by fields on all sides. Ancy-le-Franc with its big chateau was the nearest town with a Poste and boulangerie and supermarket.

We had a look around the grounds of the Chateau which was still lived in. The Stable blocks still had the original stalls and hay racks for the horses, on cobbled floors.

The were areas of ground in other chateaux with a carpet of crocus. The scent was so strong.

We visited a selection of medieval villages with their turreted roofs. The architecture is very different to where we have visited before.

We Celebrated our Anniversary in Flavingny Sur Ozerain, a very pretty town where they make aniseed sweets and it was the location for the film 'Chocolat'. We could see Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp sitting in the square taking a Coffee!
