I love France; they certainly have one of the best lifestyles going - the only place I know where you can get a four course lunch with plenty of wine (often all you can drink... which is a a bit !!) for 20/30 EUR.
However they are busy fighting a loosing battle to maintain this life style so the unions are always striking (and I hate strikers and unions).... which is such a pain !!
Mum's birthday so I took the partents to Le Gindreau which was fantastic, great wine and food. Although I huge hornet liked the wine too and decided to drown itself; what a waste !
