It would be difficult to find better hosts than Nicole and
Thaddeus. They excelled as tour
guides. Their selection of
restaurants was perfect. Their
home in Savoie made me think of the Swiss Alps. And they fed us like we were royalty.
Nicole and Thaddeus are practitioners of national pastime of
France – eating and drinking. Not
only was the food excellent, Nicole’s presentation was worthy of Iron Chef. And Thaddeus always seemed to choose
the perfect wine, often three times a day. Our final meal was a real heart-stopper, fondue. The wine was local and the bread came
from the village boulangerie. The
cheeses were produced by the local cheese co-op and I think we actually met
some of the cows that contributed the milk.
