A gourmet day:
Listening to the passion and enthusiasm of the owner of Chateau Joliet as he described the alchemy of wine making - did you know they use fire and water to shape the wine barrels?
Discovering a grape variety I had never heard of - Negrette - dark ruby, floral, smooth.
A visit to the midaevil village Cordes Sur Ciel.
A superb dinner on the terrace of Bistrot Tonin'ty, under a 300 year-old wisteria.
Roasted rack of lamb with lavender, thyme, garlic, courgette and carrot flan.
Rognon de veau flambé au Cognac sauce moutarde à l'ancienne, garniture printanière.
Tarte fine aux pommes, compotée de rhubarbe et glace cannelle.
Mi-cuit au chocolat et glace pain d'épices.
The cinnamon and gingerbread ice creams were so incredible we asked for a second helping.
French coffee, noir, a perfectly smooth taste of bitter.
An evening stroll through the cobbled streets.
the quiet peace, the heat and the sensuality of the evening.
