... just on the outskirts is where they make the good stuff.

On our way up to Burgundy, we went through Boujoulais to try a couple more wines. Of course we're barely missing Boujoulais Nouveau, the big festival that happens in 2 weeks, but we still got to try some very good Gamay. And at unbelievable prices... some of the best of the best Boujoulais is around 5 bucks a bottle. We drank that with lunch.
Then it was off to Burgundy... Stay tuned!

Et avant de refermer la lourde porte, prenez le temps d'un petit déjeuner servi dans la salle à manger ...

... croquants, clairette, plantes aromatiques. Et bien sûr la lavande cultivée à flancs de montagne au coeur du pays Diois…Un lieu qui a inspiré nombre de créateurs qui y ont élu domicile.

... just give her a E50 note and hope for some change! The same with the butcher - we left yesterday with a piece of beef which cost the same as a small African Nation would have on the blackmarket - needless to say that the children have now been quietly prepped that we dont walk into a shop BEFORE we have looked into the windows first and decided what we want so we can avoid ...

Possibly the most romantic destination EVER, the Chateau Du Bijou is very beautiful and totally away from it all, but only just! We spent the weekend exploring the Ardeche and Drome
areas, situated either side of the Rhone Valley, which are both also really beautiful
and unspoilt holiday destinations. No crowded beaches, but fresh rivers
for ...

We ;have a wonderful place to stay at Dan's home in Agnin south of Lyon. It was wonderful to have Dan visit us at the Gite and now we will visit him at his lovely home with sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed hiking in the Mountains with him ...

... barn between Lamastre and the village of Nozieres in the Ardeche. Understandably Emily had got confused about the best route in - it's quite remote - the closest large town would be St Argreve, where in the past several years, Paull has organised a classical music and arts festival which runs over several weekends in July/August. Over the last 15 years they have beautifully restored the house to be a well ...

... just how seriously the French take their food and how long they take at meals. We had to practically beg for the check. Actually, I think that they are on to something with the whole dinner as an experience way of thinking. After our crepes, we started walking back to our hotel. As we turned a corner we noticed some big red trailers parked next to a little city park. There, tethered to some trees and grazing in the grass were camels! Camels in France!! I was really excited.
