DU PAIN, DU VIN...DES AMIS

My dear friends Sergio and Chantalle took my adventure as an excuse to road trip to France and be part of the travel fun for a weekend. We stayed at a very charming mansion in Saumur, now a quiet B & B surrounded by an enormous, flowery garden. This alone was quite a treat after my camping lifestyle. But boy oh boy, did we have some other treats as well!

Friday dinner at Le Pot de Lapin set us off right... Sergio might talk about the entrecôte he had there for years to come. The rest of the weekend was a polonaise of markets, wine tastings, touring villages by bicycle, a best-of-the-market picknick, a tour of Cremant de Loire cellars, more wine, more food, and more wine. A ridiculously perfect weekend.

I am not convinced I can go back to my previous life as a bicycle camper who thinks a cafe au lait on a terrace is a big deal!
