CULTURE AND COFFEE

You know how it is when you spend time looking around historical buildings and artefacts. It does not matter how interesting they are, after a while it's time for a coffee. At Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne in Dijon located in the cloisters of the Bernadine Monastery, which displays a collection of rural and urban ethnography from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century. This was definitely the case. Well it would be after that title! There were very good bits together with the obligatory collection of brown and dusty bits.


The sign for the kitchen section of the museum.


Mustard pots, well it is Dijon.

One of the attractions of the museum was the 'street' of shops with original interiors, fittings and produce from the 1800's and early 1900's.


Pristine collection of wooden toys.


A good coffee at our latest favourite coffee shop, Le Comptoir de Colonies.

Don't mention the price of tea! compared to coffee. It did come with cake.
