We stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast called La Vigneronne. It is in a tiny village called Faugeres and is a working winery as well as a central retail wine cellar for vineyards in the immediate area. See the two little windows at the top? That was our suite. You could leave the window open even though there was no screen because there were no bugs!
The lovely arched entrance in the second picture is to the kitchen area. We never went in there, but lovely things came out. Do you see the building extension coming out below our window in the first photo? That is where we ate breakfast everyday. We would wake up to the sound of someone crunching across the gravel from the kitchen to the table, carrying our croissants, bread, yogurt, cheese, jellies, juice, and COFFEE! We ate dinner 4 times at La Vigneronne and everyone agreed that they were the best meals we had while in France. There were at least 2 different local wines with each dinner, one with the appetizer (I can't spell the French way to say that) and one with the meal. The food was always exquisite and dessert was tres bon. The best dessert I had was fresh figs covered with a vanilla cream sauce which was incredibly delicious.
I will have to post my report of our trip in chapters since Blogger says 5 photos is the limit per post. Tune in again.
