A truly excellent find - perfect for a stopover when driving to southern France or Italy from the UK.
The view from the clean, airy and beautifully decorated bedroom is of Chateau de clos Vougeout, and vineyards as far as the eye can see.
Fantastic continental breakfast, with everything beautifully displayed on platters. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Equidistant between Dijon and Beaune on the N74 (exit No 1 on the A31).

Slate-top tabled, concrete-walled, shabby-chic gem of a bar, always filled with Londoners after a day's slog at work. Hard to find (probably why there's never any tourists), it's underground below a sailing shop on Shaftsbury avenue just past Neil St. Great for a post-shopping bevvie, or just to people-watch and soak up the chilled but funky atmosphere. A London must.
Nearest tube- Covent Garden, walk to the top of Neil St then turn right onto Shaftsbury Ave. It's downstairs about 5 doors down.
