After a basic
breakfast, we said goodbye to our host, Charles, and headed off to
Montreal. We had heard it was another quaint town with a good B&B.
The town is absolutely beautiful. It's quaint and very charming. Unfortunately, the B&B was full due to a wedding. The host told us “good luck” in
finding accommodation since this wedding, alone, had 550 guests. We
walked around the town and found the church on top of the hill. Steve
found the gravesite of General Habert (who fought at Waterloo). The
church itself contained amazing carved pews and statues.

We’re now on our way to Semur en Auxois. In centre ville (the center of town), we stop at the Notre Dame church. I am on a mission to find a hotel listed in Rick Steves’ book and Steve is guarding the car and filming a wedding from the car. The hotel room is scant and dingy—o.k., I’m picky. We check out other hotels only to find them booked because of weddings. Yes, it’s a Saturday and everyone is getting married.
Driving back down to Beaune gives us the same results. Everyone is booked. In this town, tour busses are everywhere. We finally find the “last” room at B&B Hotel. I guess it’s better than sleeping in the car. The bathroom contains everything in one big, open space. The shower has no walls. I wouldn’t want to wipe all of this down. Staying here is a last resort situation.
