Palate Cleanser

Today we left the lovely Loire Valley town of Montsoreau and drove to the big city of Nantes where we checked into a hotel with internet. Here's a picture of where we stayed in Montsoreau.

For those faithful readers who found the picture of the andouillette disturbing, I hope this plate of seared maigret du canard with pesto (not basil) and fried gnocchi, from the restaurant “Urbane” in the 10th Arrondissement of Paris, wipes out that memory.

And here is a bowl of zucchini soup with basil mousse from the restaurant “Café Panique” also in the 10th.
