When we were in France for two weeks one time, we had boullabaise every 2nd day and each restaurant had their own unique recipe and always, always delicious. It is heartwarming that Ben is allowed in restaurants too.<br />Thanks for sharing<br /><br /><br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-74221706134452310902012-06-01T03:45:50.998+02:002012-06-01T03:45:50.998+02:00Hi Heather,

There's a small (as in perhaps six tables?)restaurant, with a menu in which everything seems to feature their goat-cheese, their vegetables, their poultry (they also raise turkeys, chickens, and ducks) and their confitures.<br /><br />We must have eaten for three hours. I asked a million questions, of course...mostly about the garden and orchard. At the end of the meal (around 3 pm), my 70 year-old father-in-law was plain-out yawning, and the owner simply suggested that he take a nap....brother-in-law and his wife drove back to Tours (they've got babies and, therefore, their days are not their own)....Herve and his father BOTH were guided to a perfectly nice bedroom in the family's part of the house....and my mother-in-law (whom I like very much; we're quite alike, oddly enough) and I spent an hour or so exploring all the chicken coops and cherry-orchards with the owner (the wife, to be exact) before helping her a bit with the goat-feeding. After that, she went back inside to retrieve our napping husbands, and we all drove back to Tours.<br /><br />It was one of the lovliest, most intriguing summer-days I've ever passed in the country....anywhere. I can't imagine anywhere in America where the owner, noticing the grand-papa is sleepy, would invite him to go take a nap in her bedroom before driving home....and then spend an hour or so happily showing off her goats and garden to complete strangers. Or, for that matter, gladly taking a customer's dog for a walk on the beach.....<br /><br />Well, suffice it to say that this posting of yours perfectly conveyed a sense of what "Living the Good Life" really is all about.<br /><br />Thanks...wonderful way to start my morning....<br /><br />david Terry<br />www.davidterryart.comdavid terryhttp://www.davidterryart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-35742388847402824182012-05-31T14:39:52.629+02:002012-05-31T14:39:52.629+02:00Sounds like an incredible meal.
