Du Provence, chouette et marrant (comme le grand corsaire avec une chaussure noire)
I've visited/stayed in Paris dozens of times in over four decades.
Nowadays the entire world has an automatic espresso maker. But before that in France, it was coffee made in a sauce pan on the stove during the week, and cafetière moka on the stove in the weekends.
(char à pu(t)te : 10 points)

?? I knew it, even on stove with grand Ma and it was always fresh ! Although she hadn't moka cafetiere (italian one I mean !) !
Never tried coffe à la chaussette like some make it yet in Brazil ? No better filter !
For everyday coffee I have the old Melior ! It gives you Something between the non tasty american long coffee and the too strong moka coffee if you drink big cups like I do !
Ah yes the Grand blond avec une chaussure noire... funny french movie, a little like the Louis de Funès ones ! Why du Provence ?

I've done that, it's fantastic. My favorite drive in down RN86, stopping in all of the appelations for a taste. Along the way south of Condrieu is a terrific raclette restaurant...
Because they were born there ? Working in the city, and travel to/from, no time for making coffee. Problem of all major global cities.
(I keep forgetting that it's La Provence. Once inside my head, only electro-shock gets it out, maybe)

Ah les provençais, pas des français ! des Romains instead ! lol !
Damned the rear of Provence aera is wonderful and not very seen by most of turists which concentrate on the sea side ! what an error !

I've only made the shortest stay in France (this is my error, but hopefully time will come soon to correct this!) but I made it up to Vence and St. Paul de Vence from Nice and loved every bit of it. I can imagine the rest is even better.
My general style of food ordering is to let whomever is helping me pick something--this has yet to let me down.
You guys are making me want to visit. 😀 Enjoy Nezbleu!

Those stories of coffe and stoves make me think about Something for our Canadians OP travelling with their homard !
I like too much this Hotel Particulier you can visit at Paris from a rich banker you can always visit with the furnitures . No queue ! A rich experience ! Worth to spend 1 hour (it's a little palais) ! the stoves are aewsomes !
http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/musees/musee-nissim-de-camondo/ Can leave the homard here ! 😉 Damned if you can see the kitchen !

Did you go the famous Pizzas restaurent there ? The most incredible choice I've ever seen : more than one hundred iirc !
I didn't! But that trip's travel took me down to Palermo (where my mother's side of the family lives) and I made up for any lack of pizza while there. 🙂
Oh yes my dear 🙂 (don't say them the opposite 😉 )
Italy the only one country more beautifull than France for historical traces ! (for me at least) ! I just Love Italy and totally addicted to trecento, quattrocento, cinquencento !
Damned no Cordobba for me but Italy instead .... Hve to see again Ravena !

No, RN86. It passes through Cote-Rotie, Condrieu, St-Joseph, and St-Peray, Cornas, and is just across the river from Hermitage. It them meanders south through Grenache country.
Ok we don"t speak about the same thing at all ! Here you stay near your aera when speaking about those wines (putain la Cote Rotie YES !).
You really should take this way (RN86/RD840) to go to Conques because the landscapes are just aewsome and very changing : go to the South by Avignon, le pont du gard, la conriche des Cevenes, les gorges du Tarn by DN840 then Rodez to go to Conques, try Figeac town if not made yet as well after Conques ! Of course you will not find better wines but the sees are just wonderfull (this RD840 is something !). You may stop for a night before the Gorges du Tarn for instance.... Don't take the National road but the departemental road by la corniche des Cévennes !

This was "also," not "instead of."
I've been to France perhaps 50-60 times and have traveled around there pretty extensively. This was one of the benefits of working in the wine business.

I've been served outdoors by Gitans in France, no questions asked.
(aka, I didn't ask where the food ingredients came from, but it sure wasn't from a shop, and they left a burn mark the size of a MiB landing)
The basilica in Conques is slightly sloped so that it could be swabbed out when the pilgrims left in the morning. One of the great pilgrimmage churches on the way to Compostella.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I love the Madeleine of Vezelay as well, and just below the city is one of the finest restaurants/hotels in all of FR.

Yes give me 1 kilo, please ! (i think the "please" is not too much if you give me the box !)
He (Petro) sells also a caviar made in France from snails... never tested this one 🙄 ! (don't call him Petro like Pedro, he has a magnum gun to kill the old hungry duchesses !
Does he sell black diamonds as well ? (name for "black truffles" in France)
They try to make also in Aquitaine some fish farm to re make caviar in France like there was a long time ago... It has the reputation to be good (a business of the last boyfriend of Yves St Laurent !)
Guys it's impressive, you know as well France as Matt Damon knows Mars 😀
Ahaha You drinked too much at Conques to find God and finally vomitted half of Him ! The Tympan (in front of the "nartex") is my favorite one 🙂 ! If you like it red : go to Collonges la Rouge ! : already wine red color ... more discrete the morning !
