We caught the train to Beaune given it was impossible for Russell to ride any distance with the issue with his rear rack. I had been carrying most of the baggage and this was quite physically tiring. Just moving the bike was a struggle.
After finding a campsite we cleaned our bikes and then set off to explore the town. Beaune hosts a number of beautiful buildings including a hospice that was run for five centuries. It was once believed that wine was better for you than water - mostly because the water was contaminated. The hospice is now a hotel and museum and the funds gained from this and their investments in wine to continue to contribute to the new hospital.
