WHISKY OR WINE?

BACK TO DIJON

We are back from our Christmas and New Year in other parts. Had a great time, lots of friends and family. It's time now to enjoy Dijon, (no more Christmas shopping!!!!) a few friends arriving and a bit of annual maintenance. Calling at the local boulangerie I spotted a distinctly Bougoyne bread.
