Decided to use a combination of A26 to avoid Troyes and then the old N74 to follow the Siene valley south. This is a picturesque route up and down the valley and passes within 2km of the source. Unfortunately it does not pass Dijon as we hit the outskirts of the town in the rush hour. However it is the start of the Grande Cru wine route and we passed through some places we had 'drunk before', then spent the night in Nuits St George region on campsite that was part of the Chateau Pressey Primieux domain. The wine was pretty good too and only €4 from the site. Met a British couple with big caravan on their to way to Provence for the first time. Walked into village to stretch our legs and take a few photos. Interesting remnants of Easter festivities and offerings to the 'wine gods' for a good harvest. A lot of activity all around trimming and tending the vines.
