Getting this “postcard” installment off in haste, as I am catching a plane back to New York tomorrow.
This trip to France has been a whirlwind full of wonderful surprises. It has taken me from Paris to Jarnac and Cognac, to Bordeaux, Agen, Mirepoix, and then home to Provence and the seashore. I’m looking forward to some more quality time here in a month.
The gastronomical delights have been plenty. The highlights included a perfect dinner at Frenchie – it is as good as you hope and dream, I am still thinking about the fraise de bois in everything – cooking with Chef Ludovic at the Chateau, drinking rare wines from Jura, indulging in favorite Pierre Hermé flavors while taking a bubble bath (double indulging!), and learning all about cognac from Pierre, Jennifer, Beatrice, and Patrice.
Now to packing!
How exciting! I love Provence and can’t wait to read more about it! The photo of the desserts looks exquisite! xx
Thank you, Smidge! It is one of my absolute favorite places.
By now you have arrived back home and suffering from jet lag. Thanks for the postcard…looking forward to more once you are rested.
Yes, jet lag like a hammer, Karen haha 🙂
Will definitely post more recipes and reports this week!
I’m looking forward to them. 🙂
Picture perfect moments in both the culinary and geographical sense. Love!
A great way to put it, Alice :)!
