Back on the bus and back to Tocane for a BBQ. Starter was a very soft curry with rice, then fab salads, even fab-er dressings, Toulouse Sausages, steak & potatoes au gratin. Yum. Them we HAD to finish it off with warm lemon cake with whipped cream. Of course, there was the obligatory wine too.
Janice & Paul, you are superb hosts and Janice you are a Cook, par excellence! We really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know this little part of France. There were tears in many eyes as we sang Pokerekere Ana before we boarded the bus.
For me it was time to say goodbye to the family. Thankfully they are coming home for a warm Christmas this year, so less 89 sleeps to go.
One of the group paid our hosts the highest compliment when she commented that the two evenings we had spent at Rouge were better than you'd get in any Paris restaurant!
Early start tomorrow and the beginning of our journey north up the Loire Valley.
Rouge
One of the 'door bells'
