Still in the Burgundy region. We drove over to the historic town of Nevers, which is frequently mentioned in The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. The town itself was a bit disappointing (Never say Nevers again), but close by is the village of Apremont-sur-Allier, which is worth a visit. It is on the official list of 'the most beautiful villages in France'. It is not terribly historic, but it is bursting with quaint old cottages all covered in roses, and a river runs through it. The river, by the way, is l'Allier, which gives the village its name.
