Back to Janice & Paul's place and their fabulous bistrot Rouge. Their website does not do them justice, but it might give you a little taste of Rouge.

Earlier we had been joined by an English friends of Janice's, Gwin. Her thread work/painting were so very clever. Gwin shared with us her love of fabrics and thread. We might see her in NZ at some stage.
Gwin's husband Roger had been roped in to help serve tables, as had another friend Roger.
On the menu was Orange/carrot or tomato soup, then Duck, Fish and Chups or Paisley Pie, followed by brownie or pav with raspberries. Paisley pie has black pudding in it. Sound yuk? Evidently tastes great. The food was fabulous, the ambiance incredible and the wine too copious.
We commence the evening by presenting the family with little gifts form NZ. A kiwiana tea towel (will probably end up framed), a fab apron made with NZ native flower print fabric (the Cook - Janice - still had it on the next day), magazines and more, but all with a kiwi flavour. Very happy little kiwis all four were too.
The bus journey back to Perigueux was hilarious - to say the least. As you know, what happened on tour stays on tour, but rest assured there was much laughing.
If you, or anyone you know is going to be in this part of France and looking for either accommodation or food, then Rouge is the place to go. Am I a little bias? Yes, but everyone else would agree about the quality anyway.
