Would you drive four hours for a millefeuille? Mr. Misadventures would. Last October when we landed at Charles de Gaulle we rented a car and drove an hour to stay at Les Jardins d’Epicure. It allowed us to make our way in the direction we were going (Normandy) without driving…
Having arrived, rested and thoroughly enjoying our first afternoon at Relais Chateau property Le Fort de l’Ocean, the next treat in store for us was dinner. As was customary at all our other stays on this trip, we planned to try out the hotel restaurant for at least one dinner. After being…
You know the saying: location, location, location? Well the Relais Chateau hotel, Hôtel de la Plage in Sainte Anne La Palud, has it in spades. You feel like you are at the end of the world, just you and the ocean. There is no town per se, no restaurants or…
In trying to figure out the best way to write about my latest trip to France I have decided to write posts that mimic how we actually did our trip. I already detailed our launching post, the Relais Chateau hotel we ended our trip on last year, Chateau Richeux. We…
Cancale oysters are the finest in France and the town on the Brittany coast is considered the oyster capital! Lots to see, eat and do in the surrounding area.
Happy National Croissant Day!!!! I love to travel and I love food. The two items are woven together, unable to be separated, and are the things I am most obsessed with in life. Thankfully I have a hubby that is absolutely the same! Many of the most memorable travel experiences…
Currently | 10.30.18 Watching | Mad Men & A Star is Born> We finished streaming Mad Men and Mr. Misadventures is kicking himself for not watching earlier! I love the clothes and furniture and style of the 60’s (well maybe not the late 60’s) and enjoy the inner workings of…
Ballet. Discipline. Harmony. Home. These were the words that kept popping into my head as I spent an evening in the presence of epicurean mastery at The Willows Inn on Lummi Island in the San Juan Islands. Note: This story was written about my meal in 2012. It has brought…
Having established ourselves at the Hotel Brittany, we spent the next couple of days exploring the region around Roscoff. There were a few things we knew we definitely were going to do, including hiking along the sentiers côtiers (coastal trails). When we left Chateau Richeux heading toward Roscoff, we stopped…
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. After three enchanting days at the edge of a sea cliff, we tumbled down into the Loire valley and into the rocks. Okay, it was by choice, but what is dramatic about writing that? We left Brittany and headed to the Loire valley for…
On our last day in Brittany, we visited Le Mont Saint Michel, a village famous for its cathedral which becomes impossible to access once the tide is high. We could not come this far west without taking the time to visit. Luckily we came in October and visited on a…
One of the unadvertised benefits of Chateau Richeux’s (where we checked during Part 4) location is that it is right on the coastal trail that allows you to walk for miles to either town in either direction. Part of the Sentier des Douaniers, or “custom officer paths,” these paths that…
