Chateau-Chalon

We were done with what we wanted to see of the Alsace, and proceeded on, into the Jura, the high bits of Burgundy, on our way to the French Alps. We had thought we might have a look at Besancon, but traffic snarls, parking issues, and the heat of the day lead us to add it to the "next time" list. We spent the night at an aire-de-camping-cars at Chateau-Chalon, another plus beaux village, perched on a cliff above a vineyard-filled valley, with great views.



The chateau itself is on the right


The usual ample cultural/historical interpretive signage




Plenty of opportunities to taste the wines...now
Burgundy wines


Valley of vineyards below



The camping aire was just below a 12th century ruin ("Charlemagne's
Tower")


Definitely a fixer-upper

Next morning as we're leaving, a 10K run/walk is on...
