France

Our journey through France and overnight stay.

Our journey through France and overnight stay. On our journey down to Grimaud we stopped overnight near Dijon. We chose to stay at Le Bailli de Montsaugeon (you can book via booking.com). The hosts were extremely welcoming and there were lots of nice little touches throughout. We had dinner and breakfast in the dining room which were both excellent.

We arrived at about 4 o’clock so had plenty of time to wander around and explore the ancient village of Montsaugeon. There are the remains of the ancient citadel wall built to protect the village from invasion by the Romans when Caesar invaded Gaul (France).

A similar linen blazer at Benetton and John Lewis and Boden. Navy linen trousers MarksandSpencer. They still have an excellent range to view click here.

Our journey through France and overnight stay.

We were able to take these photos in the front garden of our Chambre d’hôte.

Le Bailli de Montsaugeon

The charming garden

Montsaugeon, a picturesque village where its authentic character has been preserved, lies halfway between Burgundy and Champagne.

Besides the remains of an old castle on top of the hill, Montsaugeon has a church dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, an ancient keep, stately homes, and a beautiful fish pond. Just outside the village, you will find the vineyards where local quality wines are produced.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • I just finished reading "A Winemaker's Wife" by Kristen Hamel and seeing your pictures of the French vineyard brought the book to life. I envy your journey and appreciate seeing such gorgeous scenery on your blog. Enjoy!
