The Straight Roads of Burgundy


France to me has always been symbolized by that classic Life magazine photo of the kid looking back from the bike holding the giant baguette. He is bicyling on a road like this, straight, and bordered by rows of trees.

Here we head toward our next stop in Burgundy. Today I kick back with no appointments until the other journalists arrive tonight for a meal at Marc Meneau's l'Esperance, a three-star restaurant in Sainte Pere-sous-Vezelay.

I'm going to borrow a bike and see some of the country lanes close up.

I took this photo, and had the camera on a weird setting hence the blue tint. It was taken in Burgundy in June 2007.
