Essoyes--Have you been there?
If you have been there...please tell me about it. Worth a stop on the way to Burgundy
from Epernay ??? Working on a driving route ...hopefully on the "back roads"-vs-auto route.
Thanks for replies...!

Nottingham - I don't know if it will help but I remember a long while back I got in a dialogue with a poster who wanted to visit Essoyes. I think a famous artist or writer lived there. Anyway, I found the link to that that thread and as usual I went overboard providing all kinds of info and basically gave a novel length response. But maybe there's something in that thread you'll find useful so here is the link:

Let me know if you need any more tips for your trip.

Just read & printed out your link "paris-to-essoyes".....and will "study" it !!
Noticed you mentioned Semur-en-Auxois also...which is where we will be heading.
Speaking of "worthless" villages...we have plans to take a slight detour (on the way to Colmar)
onto a road that will take us to Vaudry & Matheny...near Arbois in the FrenchComte area...seems
some long-ago ( and I mean LONG ago!) ancestors came from that area...so I'm on a" mission"
for my cousin. Ever been in that area????

I'm afraid I still haven't made it to eastern France so I'm not much help there. Have you seen my trip report about spending a weekend in and around Semur?
