Walking in Burgundy: Arrival at Dijon

We arrived in CDG airport a little past noontime that Sunday but our train schedule to Dijon wasn't until 4:52pm at Gare de Lyon station.  The new EES system was just recently rolled out and online reports I saw talked of long delays at the CDG airport.  Since we didn't know how much time we will be spending at the passport control, we took that later train time for good measure.  Well, it turned out that the airport queue was a non-issue.  The kiosks were non-operational so we were out of the airport in no time.

We took two train rides from the CDG airport to Gare de Lyon station, had a nice lunch in one of the restaurants, and sketched a bit of the station architecture. 

It was a busy station with plenty of travelers at all times.  We found our car and reserved seats and soon we were traveling along the country side.  The views are amazing but it was also getting late in the day.  At Dijon, we took a taxi to the hotel which wasn't too far from the train station.  After getting settled in our room, we freshened a bit and headed out for short walk nearby the hotel before coming back for a good night's rest.
