A little winding road, a narrow lane runs through the village with a small square completely shaded by trees on one side and 2 or 3 houses and a lovely little church on the other side with a little field next to it. It\u2019s boarded by old stone walls on three sides, like a courtyard and that opens up on the rolling fields. In that little grassy yard, local producers set up open air kind of kitchens or barbecues and cook, in front of you lay their lovely fresh produces. The hardest decision is choosing what\u2019s on the menu: an organic lamb kebab with homemade chips or a lentil salad with roast chicken, crisp jucy pork or duck saucissages, patatoes cooked with cepes, bacon, parsley and garlic, creamy or stinky cheeses as you prefer, local wine, local fruit juices, home make tarts and cakes and ice creams and anything or everything you want.<\/p>\n<p>It all smells so nice. Take a tray, buy what you want and sit with the locals at one of the long, long tables with benches, enjoy your food, the music, talking with the totally relaxed locals, dance and laugh in this gentle, mild summer evening.<\/p>\n<h2>Written by Louisa, our <em>very<\/em> local French representative.
