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
