Everyone should be so lucky to have their private tour guides who know Paris. Wish you had been with us last summer.

rude person
At the Museum of Pre History, it would serve the rude woman at the ticket booth if you wrote a letter to the director. There is a bad apple in every bunch. We are enjoying your travels, keep them coming.

Looks good to me
I am more like Tracy, afraid to try something too different and then I always want what Walt has ordered. Sandy you don't look like you have gained a single pound. Bob let Sandy take a picture of you. Are you sure you are on this trip. Continue to have a wonderful time guys.

Beatiful place
This is a beautiful place. What a wonderful experience for you to live in a small village and get to know the people of the area. We are really enjoying your blog. Keep them coming. Hey next year, if you don't want to house sit, we are available!

OK, not Florida....
OK, Bob, I accept that this could not by any stretch of the imagination be Florida (dessert table notwithstanding.) But I was surprised you didn't protest the food blog penalty that was imposed on the grounds this is more anthropological field observation of French rural culture than gastronomical.

"this could be a community meal in Florida" - oh no Bill! Not a chance. In Florida they would have been lining up an hour ahead of time, the meal would have lasted only 20 minutes and they wouldn't spend the 15 in the first place.

Community gathering
I was surprised at how casually the people are dressed--if it weren't for the quality of the food and drink, this could be a community meal in Florida. Speaking of food and drink, I'm afraid there will have to be a penalty this time.

Bob, I can certainly understand your initial hesitation about attending, but this sounds delightful. So does this: "Every time our glasses were partly emptied someone made sure they were filled." Keep it coming, please; I'm enjoying your trip.

The best black winter truffles were E800 a kilo or about $1000 US a kilo or $400 a lb - almost worth a trip over Steve and Mary! One the size of a golf ball might be 200 gm and about $100US. It would last a good while as you only use shavings.

yummy food pictures
I would love to try everything in your pictures, especially the Carre de Venea. I hear the truffles are very expensive. Give us an idea of the cost. Great pictures!

Amazing
"... a buttered slice of French baguette, covered with slices of truffle ..." So simple, but sublime. Big sigh. We share your feelings about the wines of Cahors. I wish we could get more of it here in Nova Scotia.

"Hardly can be considered food?"
Bob, I completely fell for your earlier truffle explanation when you assured me they "hardly can be considered food." I was thinking this was some kind of medicinal herb, table decoration, or something you smoked--or else, in case of illness, steamed in boiling water, or applied with a poultice. Now you're regaling us with accounts of truffle appetizers, restaurant vs. street truffles, truffle recipes, etc. No more bunk: Truffles ARE clearly food. (But they do sound delectable....) If my mouth waters, it must be food.

Bergerac Wine
Hi, Bob and Sandy: We bought that Bergerac wine in Guionie in summer '07, and were pleased to see that it's available in Japan too. But not at that price! Wasn't it Bill Cosby playing Noah, getting instructions on the dimensions of the ark, who asked God, "What's a cubit?"

The fish counter
Hi Bob, I am glad to hear that you have both recovered. You do have a way of highlighting the differences between the North America and France. I can get wonderful seafood here in Nova Scotia (and that included lobster at $5.90 a pound 10 days ago), but with nowhere near the care and attention you received at Carrefour. Keep it coming ... your readership awaits.

Truffle Fete
Ah Bill... still time to revise your grading. This truffle fete is not about confections. This truffle is "subterranean fungi of the genus Tuber" which is only, coincidentally, edible. Hardly can be considered food.
