Noyers, Burgundy

We discovered Noyers by accident and it was, hands down, our favorite medieval city in Burgundy! Off the beaten track and barely mentioned in the guidebooks, it's easy to miss the farm road that winds to it. Noyers is a storybook town of surreal, half-timbered houses, mini squares and chalky cobblestone streets. It reminded us of a Hollywood back lot, it just couldn't be real! We went to the local market to buy some fruit and walked into the patisserie to grab a couple baguettes. We then sat, alone, in a tiny square and wondered when someone would yell, "cut!" Deia played with local chatte's and ran around smelling flowers on window sills. It was charming and inspiring. Such a happy accident!
