Ladies ya got to get to Bourgogne(Burgundy) right outside of Paris and it is a complete Gothic Medieval Paradise..... Castles  🏰, Legendary Grand Cru Vineyards 🍷 🍾, 11th-13th Century Églises, musées, bibliothèques, and epic architecture.  |
I use to live in Paris, Rue Le Pic next to the cafe, where Amelie was filmed. In the District of Montmarte. I love it, but my closet in San Francisco was bigger. Also, walking out of the apartment for example...1 coffee, baguette or croissant, and a piece of fruit with yogurt.... 30 Euro...no joke.
I asked my company if I could transfer to Dijon. It was central, I had friends there and made more over a period of time. It was in wine country, which was my work at the time as a Wine Broker. But most important, it was cheaper and had a major train station. I loved that apartment on Rue de la Prefecture,
in the Place de Republic district.
Very international, great bars and restaurant, and right near the tram, to the train station. My landlord, was an awesome lady, and I even took classes at the University of Bourgogne/Dijon. In the winter, (January-May) was my off work season, and just wanted to learn the language better, and study wine...which is a constant thing to do i my business. This area is a pretty cool place to visit, and easy to get around with the tram, and an awesome experience attending the Gout des Sciences.
I was pretty content and focused on work. Before, I took the job in San Francisco, for this abroad assigment, my dog had just passed of 12 years. Then my boyfriend dumped me. Yes, this is true and something about the men in San Francisco started to really turn me off. They don't commit and I was tired of feeling like it was me. So, I dived into something new and took a chance at a new job.
Then, out of the blue, wasn't expecting to I met a guy at a party. I was having a lot of fun being single... But this Sculpture/Architect...persued. I liked it. The men are pretty charming.
   
Who later became my boyfriend, fiance, and now sexy hubby! He lived in Semur-en-Auxois.
Where the fuck was this place?
My friend who introduced us, said she'd save the surprise, and that he was so much more to get to know. I am glad I listened.
Already working in France, I knew my way around the Cote d'Or. It was actually fun to take him around and show him Dijon!
But, Semur-en-Auxois, was like a magical fairyland, and my friends loved to come and visit. We eventually downsized. I gave up my Dijon Apartment, and he sold his house....and we moved into our petite little house on the Bourgogne River.
The men over there like it when you are working, it makes you more desirable, and learning the language is key. Other than that, You are a sexy kitten with an accent, and easy to meet new, incredible men. Again, the guys in Paris like any other big city think they are to cool...a little too cool for me. I really like the simplicity of the men in the country!
Try something new....I did. I am very glad I tried.
