My first work week is over, and we have had our first French night out. Last night we went to a very small restaurant just a couple of blocks away. We had a wonderful dinner that began with the tiniest piece of toast, a salmon pate, and a tomato sauce, went on to a salad and jambon, brie, and apple tart, followed by rabbit wrapped in bacon with potatoes (the best Nancy and I had ever tasted), with a zucchini quiche, and finished off with a chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream. We discussed who would go up the stairs first in order to pull the other up. (This place is definitely on the list of places to go if we have guests from the states.) We did have to spend some time meandering around before we could be seated - they don't start serving dinner until 7:30 around here. It was actually my third restaurant meal - out to lunch on Monday with work colleagues; then again on Wednesday a business luncheon with a potential client.)
It is hard to describe the surroundings, so I will take some pictures today as we finally get to do some exploring - first the farmer's market and then???? The first here is one I took out of the window of the ante-room to the men's toilet at work. The views here are fantastic.
I got a small auto GPS so we can drive wherever and get back without difficulty. I may even set the language to French after a couple of more days.
Nancy and I both bought our French chapeaus - pictures to follow. :-)
I think I will go make a pot of coffee and chill for a few minutes.
Tonight or tomorrow we will add street and apartment pictures
