They are quiet and contemplative, the Saone villages in Franche Comté in eastern France. This makes them just the thing for a relaxing holiday for connoisseurs. We saw some of them on our houseboat tour from Gray to Scey sur Saone.
Flower villages - that's what Michel promised us when he picked us up from the airport in Nantes for our houseboat tour on the Mayenne. And he was right!
