Flavigny and a Chateau

So I've gotten a little bit behind on blog posts because of finals and getting ready to leave! But before I leave for a train to Berlin in a few hours I thought I would try to quickly update! So for our very last excursion we went with our professor who was here from the US to Chateau Bussy-Rabutin and then to Flavigny which is where the movie Chocolat with Johnny Depp was filmed! The castle was gorgeous but our guide was kind of boring so I don't have a lot to say about the history of the castle! The castle was built in the 16th century, and then like most other castles, they added onto it in the centuries afterwards! The most stunning part of the castle was the gardens because they were all in bloom! We also walked through a labyrinth! Then after the castle we went onto Flavigny which is a cute and very small medieval town! It is famous for it's anise candies, and they have these candies in other flavors besides anise as well! We also saw in Flavigny the window that was the chocolate store in Chocolat, and we saw the church that was in the movie as well! It was a fun day excursion and a nice way to spend our last weekend together in Dijon!
