I decided to start the year an article by "catch-all" as I sometimes write when I get back from vacation and I did lots of things nice. And that was the case last week.
After a great Christmas with my family, I braved the elements
to see my friends Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand (you know, the city whose rugby team is champion of France ).
In fact, Santa Claus brought me a new toy that will allow me to offer you even more beautiful pictures in my future articles. This is the Canon Powershot SX 210, a marvel of camera with a zoom of death and HD video function very handy. Thank you Santa!
short, it had snowed on the Auvergne my friends and I took a walk to the ski resort of Super Besse (pictured above). Not to ski, always loathe the winter, the cold and snow. However, I quite like cooking
mountain. And for a taste truffles, typical dish of the region that we visited in the Sancy. If you do not know this excellent dish, I refer you to my article " Truffade or poutine.
one we tasted was impressive last week (pictured above) and very good, although to my taste, and that of my master of cooking, Max's friend, the presence of bacon masked the aroma of fresh toma. After this episode
Auvergne, I came back briefly in my good city of Montpellier to encourage our rugby team who faced Biarritz
the last game of the Top 14 this year. It was a tough match, dominated by our little blue in the first half and by the Basque second.
Ultimately, Montpellier won and that's the point. This match marked the return of our half-d'ouverture International, Francois Trinh-Duc, after a forced break due to injury. He celebrated it by scoring the only try of Montpellier a superb cons.
Here is a summary of the meeting I put together for you (with bonus comments from Vince):
I finally finished the week on the Coast 'Azur and more precisely on the Giens peninsula, south of Hyères. It's a very nice area to finish the year and begin another.
again, I thank my host and friends with whom I spent a very nice stay. After a fairly
Eve disco, the first year was spent visiting this beautiful little corner of the Var coastline.
A walk on the beach we found that the traditional bathing of 1 January was still practiced. It must be said that if the sun shone only moderately,
temperature was still very enjoyable.
Then it's into a U.S. military jeep, late 50s, that our host has wandered into the peninsula. A means of locomotion very original and really nice. Too bad the sun was not really go to discover the coves, pine forests and small ports which follow around Giens.
I will
with pleasure, and I'll open up the island of Porquerolles, which is only a short distance from the coast.
Well, one week began in the snows of Auvergne and ended on the beaches of the Cote d'Azur, that's the holidays, especially when you have the chance to share all the good times with dear friends.
To conclude this article Tote earlier this year, we need a little music. As I return to work today, I offer a song of circumstance:
