Burgundy, France

Wine-loving animal photographer Iwago Mitsuaki went to Burgundy, France, hoping to see vineyards and cats. He first encountered cats at an old castle in a beautiful little village. He was delighted that the village scenery and cats made for picturesque photos no matter where he took them. He then went to the vineyards where wine enthusiasts covet. Here the cats patrol and sharpen their claws on wooden posts. The cats then went to a wine cellar where they posed with 30,000 bottles waiting to be shipped behind them. He also photographed cats on street corners and in the countryside.
