Today, in between visits to potential properties for Amy's future photography workshops, we enjoyed our final lunch in Provence in the village of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. We had hoped to dodge the relentless mistral that has been blowing for days without end but, alas, no respite was to be found. So we settled in to the Hostellerie le Chateau restaurant for a lengthy indoors, out-of-the-wind meal.
We were not disappointed. The server was accommodating to our vegetarian/vegan needs and the chef conjured up a delicious three-course feast that made our day. He also came out to table to visit and see how we liked his creations. Great service! Above, a starter of fresh asparagus on a flaky pastry bed.
Followed by a melange of roasted veggies.
And to finish up, a delicious sorbet.
And on the way home, we passed this "snow covered" field to pay homage to my snow-covered home in Massachusetts......
.....and to see close-up, a fresh crop of springtime dandelions - ah, Provence - au revoir mon ami!
Tomorrow, we hit the road for the 600km drive to Lucca, Italy.
