On May 21, 2009 ... What a memorable day for our humble group of travelers!
Today we were lucky to have a fantastic guide on our side: Cyril Good. We have therefore undertaken on this sunny day, to go find treasures at flea market, a kind of gigantic garage sale!
Subsequently, our guide brought us lunch (dinner forgiveness ... I'm already starting to make my Natasha St-Pierre and take the old country accent!).
This dinner will be engraved forever in the memories of our young travelers! Our hosts, Francine, Jackie and Denise, we have prepared a frugal meal consisting of a multitude of dishes!
First, Francine Cougères served us, kind of small cream puff stuffed with cheese! It has also decided to share her recipe with our little group:
-4 eggs-150g-150g grated cheese
-sifted flour 80g butter over that used to polish the plate
-1 pinch of nutmeg salt-
/
pepper Preheat oven to 200 ° C. In a saucepan bring
25cl of water in a saucepan with the butter cut into cubes more salt.
Off the heat add the flour all at once, stir briskly and put on low heat to dry out.
Remove from heat, cool slightly and add eggs one by one.
Add cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Submit
into small balls on a waxed plate.
Bake 25 minutes and watch.
What a great recipe!
Subsequently we ate ham marbling (typical dish from the region of Dijon), salads, couscous and carrots and finally we drank! From
Kyr, the new favorite drink Gigi (Gilbert), with the pink lemonade (the discovery of Michel), wine, wine and more wine, finally ending with brandy homemade pear !
Once this fantastic meal finished, we took the path of the Abbey of Fontenay. Abbey ... Splendour of the architecture, poetic place which emanates from history and mystery! It is hard to describe the beauty so I'm still excited!
This historic site, where Cistercian monks had taken up residence, was the scene of many events throughout the ages. Bethel, stationery (yes), the private domain of the famous family Balloon ... This monument is certainly a testimony to the history of France!
course, after this story about our adventures you must be on the edge of your seat sweating now you say, my God! but their day is good to be ending!
Well no! Resume your breath because then we took the path of Flavigny to visit the store and the village where the famous candy "Anis de Flavigny" are manufactured. A short stop just as memorable as we were able to satisfy your sweet tooth! (I recommend to anise mint!)
And finally, we finished this phenomenal day in a picturesque place that I will return in a dream for the rest of my days! Semur en Auxois ... Ancient fortress town, stone tower, old cobblestones ... This city has been completely plunged in my childhood dreams of capes and swords, dragons and knights! It was in walking the streets of this city that I said to Michael, a phrase that seemed to mark it: Coudonc my Michael! France is like the old Montreal ... but everywhere!
I finish this story while I eat with my accomplice Luce dish of poached eggs at the restaurant La Goulue. Everyone is very tired but very happy!
And we can expect to "have his head in the ass" (definition: early morning, have a look tired and disheveled hair) tomorrow in the morning seems like our guide Cyril!
you tomorrow! Dominic
