ject: Hotel-Restaurant de la Vallee Location: Plumeliau, Morbihan, Brittany, France, Europe Title: Wonderful French Impression ID#: 392530836 You must have heard the stories about wandering round the French countryside,desperately trying to find anything resembling somewhere to have a beer and a bag of crisps and then falling into a heaven ,complete with optional manna.......Well we did. The July 14th Bastille Day celebrations were in full swing in St Nicholas des Eaux,flee market with tons of tat,old men on new motorbikes( please,please get me one) a fleet of beautiful old motor cars, scrubbed up and looking terriffic,the river looking beautiful,dressed fore and aft with flowers and trees and a sky full of sun and 20deg. So,whats the next thing on the agenda......of course ,a cold beer and glass of wine. So we walked along the river admiring the cars ,chortling at the tat....yes! Ok we did buy some and eventually found ourselves at the end of the road next to what looked like a tatty French bar and tabac, but ,what the hell.cold beer and wine were duly delivered.After a bit the suggestion was that we could possibly have lunch here at the RESTAURANT de la VALLEE.It was a bit early but we lingered over the drinks and then grabbed an inside table. The menu du jour was a limited choice and we were a bit thrown by the bretton French menu but Madam was on hand to help. 3 courses was E30.50 a bit more expensive than we usually pay for a normal lunch but this was our last day. A half bottle of Rose de Provence seemed like a good idea. The place was rapidly filling up with older French couples and families who all seemed to be looking forward to a good lunch. Now the one thing we English HAVE to get used to is that a good lunch must not be rushed.Take your time and enjoy the company,the wine and of course the food. It was delicious.We both has the Pate(sorry geese) duck with french fries and some delicious veg and to finish I had the chocolate mousse and Molly had the Creme Caramel.Coffee outside finished off a wonderfull,unexpected visit to a beautiful little French village. The staff were efficient,friendly and helpful and didn't mind our terrible attempts at their language,even the other French customers were chatty and friendly. An altogether wonderful way to pass a couple of hours
