After three days in Paris it was time for the train to Avignon where we picked up our car and drove to visit a friend who I have known for 30 years. I spent 2 years living in a small Provencal village where he was the dentist, but he is retired and now lives in Viviers where he grew up. His family home is a beautiful old mansion from 1870 with 3 hectares of land - in other words a lot of work.
His wife prepared a wonderful french dinner, and after champagne and both red and white wines I had a small hangover the next day but that was cured by large bowls of steaming coffee and baguette with homemade fig jam. C'est la vie en France!
