Experiencing “le pont” in full swing
For some reason, I’d never fully experienced the French tradition of “making the bridge,” or faire le pont. I knew what it was, of course, but somehow had never really felt its full effect. Until today, that is. When the … Continue reading
The tricolour over Daglan
Today is the 8th of May, and it’s a national holiday in France. Huit Mai, as it’s known, marks Victory in Europe day, which took place 68 years ago. Each year, when we’ve been in the village, my wife Jan … Continue reading
From ghost town to boom town
A belvedere is a building or other structure that’s been placed to take advantage of a beautiful view. In Domme, just 10 kilometres or so from downtown Daglan, Le Belvedere is the place to be if you’re looking for a … Continue reading

Dish du jour — 29/04/2013
While our personal budget for eating out is getting close to what economists now call “a fiscal cliff,” my wife Jan and I are persevering. So today it was a three-hour-and-forty-five-minute lunch (I know, not bad for a Monday) at … Continue reading
Dish du jour — 20/04/2013
Well, we just couldn’t go cold turkey and stop fine dining altogether, could we? So today we picked up our friend Suzanne and headed west from Daglan to Bergerac for some shopping and, of course, lunch at La Table du … Continue reading
Lunch beneath the lindens
Yes, there’s been an interruption in my postings about our personal festival of feasting — but not because the feasting had ended. I was simply overwhelmed with photographs to arrange, and I needed some time to relax and practice some … Continue reading

Nice twists on some yummy classics
Our lunch yesterday with friends Rob and Darlene, who are visiting from Toronto, and Rob’s aunt and uncle from the Bergerac area, was a hit. As expected. We met up in Beynac, at La Petite Tonnelle. It’s just a few … Continue reading

Yesterday (Sunday) was another wonderful day in the ongoing festival of feasting that my wife Jan and I have embarked upon, but not because the food represented the peak of culinary invention. Rather it was because we were able to … Continue reading

Simply superb in Bergerac
Superb isn’t a word I use all that often. But yesterday at lunch, I wrote “superb” on my little pad of paper as I made notes about our lunch at La Table du Marché in old Bergerac, about an hour … Continue reading
