Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Dining with Kitty Cat
Enjoyed the nice buffet breakfast at our hotel then drove down the hill to Saint-Pères to find a rose garden I’d read about. The only thing currently in bloom there was a massive white wisteria. But, in the village there were plenty of lilacs, irises and peonies. Drove from there through the beautiful Cousin River valley, and then into the town of Avallon. Had a nice lunch and did some exploring, then headed back to Vézelay. Relaxed on our balcony with some rosé and then hiked back up to the top of town for a great dinner at La Terrasse, an appropriately named terrace under a huge linden tree.
