Friday 13
July
Today we
drove to St. Remy to visit the charming Roman site of Glanum. While there, we had a biggish lunch at
Bistrot Découverte: fresh
tuna steak on a salade niçoise, and a beautiful sliced duck breast flavored with five spice, dipped
in red wine sauce, served with potatoes oozing duckfat. It was the sort of lunch that gives you
the strength to crawl all over Roman ruins in the hot sun, and not eat dinner
until the cool of evening.
That dinner
consisted of more Carrefour finds: nice (though not the thinnest) veal
escallopes seasoned with salt and herbes de provence, and pan seared, served with
boiled new potatoes, and mushrooms fried with a dollop of crème fraiche. With it we drank a red wine de Nimes -
and we visit there tomorrow.
