Started the morning in Tain L'hermitage/Tournon with a chocolate seminar and tasting by a chocolatier from Valrhona, a world famous gourmet chocolate maker. We then walked over to Ferraton Cellars for a wine tasting. These vines are visible from the river up and down the steep hillsides; pretty amazing. We then had a walking tour of Tournon, another old village from the 13th century. These two towns are seperated by the Rhone river, and hate each other. I get the feeling that the people of Tain think their "merde" doesn't stink. So, again, we were up way too late at the ship's bar, and barely made our bus for the Lyon tour. This is the 3rd largest city in France, with ~1.3 million people. Again, old Roman ruins are prevelant here, as this was the Roman capital of Gaul. Two rivers, the Rhone and the Saone, intersect this beautiful city. We are now done with dinner, and heading to Chalon, our last port of call, where we will be visiting the town of Beune, and also two chateaux in the Burgundy wine region (as if we need more wine). So, bon soir for now.
