The Wonders of the French Countryside

This morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast before we checked out of our B&B in Najac. I enjoyed some delicious crepes, my favorite French breakfast food, and a few farm fresh eggs. Everything was so delicious, it was hard to move to pack up and get going on our trip, but somehow we made it on the road again. Our first stop was to admire one of the Missions in Savensa called "Sanvensa croix des missions." Here is a photo we took of the beautiful crucifix in the mission.

We then moved on to the city of Figeac, where we had a delightful lunch at the La dînée du Viguier. It was so nice to have everything suggested for me since French food is not something I am all that familiar with. I enjoyed for an appetizer Scallops on a skewer wrapped in homemade duck ham, served on mashed potatoes and cod,sabayon of saffron from the Querçy’. For my entree I had a filet of Quercy’ lamb roasted with herb stuffing, Giblet’s skewer with a parsley sauce, and seasonal fresh vegetables. I paired this with the wine that was recommended and it was just perfect.I finished the meal with a crunchy almond biscuit with strawberry Gariguettes,light cream vanilla flavor Madagascan. I was so full, this trip is certainly turning out to be quite the diet buster.

We decided to visit the local museum to see some of their local art collections. My favorite piece was this Papyrus from Ancient Egypt.

After spending most of the day admiring museums and the rest of the beautiful area, we finally moved on to our hotel in Maurs. The Village De Vacances La Chataigneraie Et Spa ended up being a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Here is the view from our room. Pretty awesome!

Here is a link to some other photos of the hotel.
