Pictures from France : Dinner at Genevieve's in St. Flour

 

Here's the storyboard version which I'm learning to do in my online Photoshop Elements Class.  For an explanation of what and how, go here.

 The old city of St. Flour, on the hilltop.  

We elected to drive up to the top rather than walk up the goat path.

 One of the towers in town.

 We decided to have dinner Chez Genevieve.   

This is some of the decor on the wall around our table.  

A bouquet of silverware is quite appropriate for a restaurant.

 The view out the window at our table.   

 I love these chimney tops and roof tiles.  

 My dinner partner, CL.  Oliver was there, too, and not at all happy that I wanted to eat here.  It was a tiny restaurant with 2 floors.  The kitchen, the chef, and the bar were upstairs.  It's amazing what wonderful meals are made in such tiny kitchens in France.   Genevieve's was filled with local people--which is a good sign of good food!

 The sun was setting as we ate, and offering a magnificent light show on the fields in the distance.  Every time I looked out, the fields were a different color, from greens to golds and finally to gray.  It was remarkable.    Then there's this slate tile rooftop that made me think it was the skin of a big slumbering dragon ...

Coquilles Saint-Jacques, or scallops, with fresh basil pesto on the noodles, and I forget what the vegetable in the cup was.  Delicious and light!
