Every year in France there is
a published list of the most beautiful villages, in the next coming weeks I’ll
spotlight some of their choices and (my favorites), Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux
are certainly wonderful cites, but the true France is the French deep countryside
– la France Profonde
Juliette Binoche and Julius
Caesar can’t both be wrong about Flavigny (northern Burgundy). The village in
the soft undulations of lush Burgundy was the filming site of ‘Chocolat, and 2000 years earlier, Caesar chose the
hilltop site as the base camp for his army. They say he brought the anis plant
with him, and if he didn’t well, someone did, as the village has been producing
anis-based sweets in the villages medieval monastery for centuries and still
do. On the right day with some breezes, the appealing anis aromas drift over
this ancient village.
