A few years ago I chatted to Kate Veach on the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast and since then (like a number of guests!) she has become a beautiful friend. I stayed with her and her husband Nathan recently in Burgundy which was such a wonderful time and our stay with her absolutely illustrated why we are now lovely friends. Kate and Nathan have become part of their local community in Lucenay-L'Eveque with artist events, aperitif sessions in the village square and more important that anything, wonderful friendships that will be life long.
Kate has an amazing knowledge of her local area. I have connected with her on previous trips but this time was on her actual home turf and she didn't hold back! We experienced everything wonderful that Bourgogne has to offer. Kate asked before my friend Trudy and I arrived, what we'd like to do and lucky for us, Kate knows all there is to know about finding great brocante which is exactly what we wanted! We visited the Beaune market as well as other brocante spots nearby, we meandered through Burgundian villages and towns, we had food and wine experiences I never expected, we were accepted and wrapped up with warmth by the locals and we enjoyed amazing cooking and hospitality in the cosy country home of Kate and Nathan.
Tune in to hear the wonderful tips if you're planning a trip to Burgundy, but even if you just want to imagine a day in France and escape momentarily.
