Cheese Yes - Bells No

What better way to spend a Sunday than driving along a quiet road with the Seine on one side and forests on the other. It makes us desperate to return to the frantic English roads that we love so much - NOT.

Yesterday’s lunch was a baguette and a Picardie Brie that weirdly resembled freshly churned butter and had a pleasingly strong flavour which Mr Fluffy described as off yoghurt - perfect. Today we hoovered up a baguette and a Tricorne de Picardie, a hard yet creamy cheese in a triangular shape - who’d have guessed. Tomorrow Roquefort - oh, and a baguette.
Quasimodo would have loved the Aire we stopped at this afternoon - oh, them bells, them bells. The lakeside location did little to tempt us to stay at La Madeleine Bouvet once three o’clock chimed out from the pretty church adjacent to the parking lot. It wasn’t a total loss, however, as the Fluffy one got his graffiti fix at the church and we are now at a slightly less attractive location just up the road in Breconcelles - with no BreconBELLS.
