In the morning Linda and I walk to both bakeries for croissants and great bread. Our doggies are happy to see Maria and we are happy to leave them behind.
Off we go to Pézenas. We walk the city enjoying the ancient alleys and incredible buildings. We walk to areas we’ve never seen before and take lots of pictures.
It is a gorgeous day! We have lunch at “Entre Pots,” a wonderful and beautiful restaurant where we went with the Hartleys the last time we were here. We start with an amuse bouche of sardine mouse–excellent on delicious bread. I need to hunt down the server to make sure the mouse does not contain shrimp or crab. We don’t want to wreck our day taking Linda to the emergency room. First course: 1/2 dozen oysters from the Etang de Thau for Howard, Linda and me; smoked salmon with a wonderful small salad of asparagus, very think matchsticks/pieces of zucchini, red beet, cauliflower with a vinaigrette and balsamic reduction for Ron. For the main course Linda and I have tuna on a bed of vegetables similar to the vegetable mélange Ron had for his first course; roast lamb for the guys. For dessert there is lemon sorbet and vanilla ice cream with meringue, whip cream, and strawberries with a little cookie for Howard, Ron and Linda; a hollow ball of dark chocolate (called an Easter egg) filled with whipped cream and kiwi and strawberries for me. We enjoyed a wonderful Sancerre Blanc wine with our lunch. Coffee afterwards. The food was wonderful but I was not happy with the service. We were rushed after our main course and served dessert before we had finished our wine. And then, after we told the server we did not want our coffee until after we finished our wine, he served it anyway.
Linda and I did a little shopping in the unique shops in the village. I buy some cute espadrilles and she buys a lovely scarf.
