Fresh French Bread
Boulangeries are not the only place to get delicious bread, all weekly markets have artisanal bread. Yes, breadmaking is an art in France. I left Lyon in the early morning on the 5th and as always, it was very hard to leave.
An ode to Drome/Ardèche:
I love the narrow streets. (I have never driven a car in France)
I love the farmers’ markets with picturesque fruits and veggies.
I love the smelly, unpasteurized sheep and goat cheeses.
I love the bright green of the mountains, which are covered in flowers even late in the summer.
I love the pervasive history everywhere you go.
I love the regional specialties that can’t be found anywhere else.
I love spending hours over a meal with friends.
I love the fields of lavender and sunflowers, and the hills of olive trees and vineyards.
I love learning new phrases and bits of slang.
But most of all I love the people I met there.
And I hope to go back soon.
