A late summer's day
... a chequered history having been occupied by Louis XVI's cousin in exile after her opposition to him during the revolution and, by the Germans during WW2. The market was on in town when we got there so we picked up few things for lunch from there, and also from the boulangerie (bakery) for a picnic by the lake out of town. Roger fancied a walk around the lake, since we couldn't find a forest to walk in. It was few k's more ...

A day exploring the French countryside
... assumed was for the market - wrong, but more about that later. Our first French country market! Got all the usual - yummy cheeses, ham, bread, etc. ended up having lunch at the pub there. Roger seems to have developed a bit of a taste for the obscure and more traditional menu items. Last week it was pressed pigs tongue, today tripe sausage. Lynne, I think you can expect some real culinary treats for the Wednesday night dinners when we get back!! I tend ...
