It was warm and sunny out today, and I slept relatively well despite the slight jetlag. Our hotel room was rather stuffy, since the bathroom has no fan to ventilate and the humidity from the showers just sort of stayed in the room. The one window was massive, though, and opened up completely without any screens or barriers, so you could lean out of the window and look down the street if you wanted.
We packed up our stuff and went out into the city. We had coffee/hot chocolate at a coffee shop with a very typical European feel. It was very expensive, but the hot chocolate was rich and yummy and came with a mountain of whipped cream. It’s called Chantilly here, what a nice name :3

We walked around the city to take pictures in the daylight. It was much busier today, as all the stores were open and people were out and about. As with any city, I suppose, there were homeless people on the street corners and in doorways, some of them with dogs keeping them company. I had McDonald’s for lunch just for the lulz, and got 2 macaroons from the McCafé. My parents had a toasted open-faced sandwich from a street side bakery. One thing I’ve noticed about France: people actually walk down the street holding baguettes—one, or two, or an armload. The stereotype is true.
Since being in Dijon is an experience never complete until you get some of their famous moutarde, we went to the Maille store and got like 14 bottles of mustard to give to people as gifts and also for ourselves. Then we collected out car from the hotel parking and went on our way.
