This Sunday morning was different from our previous ones ... we needed to make a visit to the Emergency Dept. at the local hospital as Monsieur Honey was stung by a nasty wasp (guêpe) in his hand the day before and overnight his hand had swollen to twice/ thrice it's size.
He was quickly attended to by a nurse and Doctor, given some medication for the day and a script to be filled the next day.
Great service!
We went for a quick coffee in Gourdon and stroll down Rue Marsis (the street where we stayed in 2012) ...
Early afternoon we headed to the Dordogne region for our "Sunday lunch" at La Gabarre, we had hoped to sit on the terrace but the skies threatened rain...
We had a enjoyable afternoon with good company, great food and wine...
Luckily, we had reservations as it was a full house and prospective clients were being turned away at the door.
The name of the restaurant reminded of the barge boats on the Dordogne ... Just like the ones in the movie "Chocolat" with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche.
One day I will get my ride ...
Crab and shrimp cucumber starter ...
Hake, spicy tabouleh and vegetables...
Limousine filet of beef hiding underneath the Peruvian potatoes with roasted vegetables ...
Monsieur Honey said this was the "best" "most delicious" piece of beef he has ever tasted in France.
My downfall ... my sweet tooth!
We then went for a Sunday drive in the country to visit some acquaintances of the "Belgian Connection" who operate a gite / B & B business ...
The "Gite" is so unique ... it is a Tree House that is beautifully designed and decorated, secluded in the countryside with it's own terrace, courtyard and jacuzzi.
Aux Fontaines d'eyvigues located in Salignac - Eyvigues in the Dordogne region of France (about 20 minutes from Sarlat) is operated by a hard-working young couple.
Check out their website ... Http://www.auxfontainesdeyvigues.com ...
for a truly unique place to stay at "la Cabane des figuiers".
Wish you all could have been here to share this delicious dessert with me!
