This weekend we escaped Paris for a weekend in Burgundy. We stayed at the magnificent Chateau de Missery, which has been in the command of the British Hawkes family for decades.
On the way to the chateau, Lina and I discovered the architectural wonder of the Chateau de Guedelon - and also the nearby Colette Museum.
This entire episode was filmed on the go - we hope you feel like you're right there with us.

0:46.6 | You're going to feel like you're here with us. And that's the whole point. On the go. I'd like to say |

1:24.6 | first. |
1:25.5 | My descriptions in this episode, well, they're not perfect, |
