A (very) slow train took me from Paris to Saumur (Loire Valley) in five hours (against two hours with a combined trip with TGVor High Speed Train) for my Oeonology course. Weather was pretty good and when changing trains in Tours I walked around and bought a beautiful Brioche at a local bakery.
Our evening meal was a festival of flavors - that everyone enjoyed!

We started with a Loire Cremant served at the perfect temperature. Then we had a platter of gray prawns and "bouquet" prawns from Brittany. Plain. Perfect. Our meal continued with a special fish from the Loire, the Alose, cooked to perfection in the oven. Leeks slowly cooked in some butter, with added creme fraiche at the end were the garnish.
Bon appetit!
