Sketchy week-end, I'm meeting June and Valérie in Paris for a roadtrip to Burgundy. Well, the Indian trail went wrong, we're choked with cars. But at least I saw the Marne river for the first time in my life ! Finally we reach the vineyards... And I don't feel lost, it's all like Normandy, even the accent !
First day at Auxerre with Valérie, Anne-Carole, Christine, and June.
We met at the Usk France meeting in Lyon, then again at the Barcelona symposium, and here we are again ! Urban sketchers, such a good way to go on holidays with unknown people: sketching-couch-surfing.

Following day at Tonnerre, like Normandy again : half-timbering and upside-down-boats-roofs !
The town was built around a big hole, a fantastic mineral spring which is 15 ms deep... Some speleos went down there and never came back... We'd better ask Cat what she thinks (she draws in the caves ^^) !
Christine tells us nobody knows where it comes from, even the administration has no answer : it's not Lourdes, but might be !
Anyway, in Burgundy, if there's a lack of water, no problem...
It's the first time I draw perfumes and flavours, above all for wine. Oups, sorry, "nez" !
I told you it looks like my home place, there's even celtic music !
Yogan and the dancer Maëlle really turned Tonnerre on.
Last glance at the vineyards and run, catch the train...
