Apremont-sur-Allier - beau village

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.
