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.

- Whoops, are we missing a bag??
Packed up our stuff and departed Lyon in our newly rented, peacock blue, Ford Kuga. Took the A6 Autoroute north thru Burgundy. These major highways are great for getting from A to B quickly but don’t offer photo stops. So you’ll just have to imagine the beauty of a medieval fortress on the top of a hill surrounded by fields with white cows, green grapevines and vibrant yellow rape seed (for canola oil). So pretty! We drove the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, passed Dijon, Macon and Beaune and ended up on the outskirts of the lovely little town of Semur-en-Auxois, our home for the next 3 nights. Petit Chablis in the hotel bar then a delicious dinner at a restaurant in the town of Pont.
