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
