Years from now, we may look back on September 26, 2010 as the day of our official welcome to the village, the public acceptance of us as Daglanaises. The venue was the village’s salle des fetes, and the event was … Continue reading

Cheese, please
Time is running out on Le Thé Vert for this season. Sadly, Daglan’s convivial tea room and restaurant closes at the end of September and will not open again until next spring. So, after my wife’s morning walk and my … Continue reading
