Auxerre, France
I spent this past weekend in the lovely town of Auxerre, France.
It’s located in Northern Burgundy (half-way between Paris and Dijon) and near the village of Chablis (for those of you who are wine connoisseurs).

The arrival of the Fall issues of magazines […]

Seems Phildar has just put the pattern […]
