A Sunday lay day in September 2007 in North Burgundy, with an easy 40 minute cross country drive for the Dom and his Peugeot for Lunch at "Le Marronnier" on the Burgundy Canal in the hamlet of Buffon. We had eaten (and indeed stayed overnight) at this excellent out of the way spot in 2004, on the memorable night that Portugal beat England in European Cup Soccer. And no, we weren't the only diners, just (as usual) the last to leave.
Buffon was home to Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707 - 1788 (81)) - who wrote a complete history of nature amongst other things.

As the meal progressed, the Dom's eye kept being drawn back to a striking "Annunciation" painting on the wall - clearly painted by a descendant of Fra Angelico. Anyway, to cut an interesting French conversation with mine host short, we bought it. Now to get it back down south as it's quite big!
