We took a taxi into town to the restaurant. We were dropped next to the Town Centre and since we were half an hour early we explored. Within minutes we realized we had fallen into one of the most festive occasions of the season: several cars whizzed around the corner with horns blaring. People who had been milling about now had cameras at the ready and were focused on the cars. A bridal party appeared and gathered in the plaza. Strangely absent were the Bride and Groom!
After a period of about 5 minutes the bride appeared (after a smoke break we realized - everyone smokes over here!) in the plaza for photos and well-wishes. She seemed very happy but very 'experienced' for a bride in white.
Our Motley Crew observed the joyful crowd.

And Barry - Note the Barak Burger Van - we saw a few along the canal.
 |
| Dinner Time at 7:00 - we appeared at 6:55 and were chastised by the waitress! She was not ready for us but she seated us anyway. |
 |
| Barry and Carolyn had Beef Simone and Gerry had Andoulette Sausage (Very Rich Local Sausage) |
 |
| Ray had Duck - Bruce had Trout - all was great but the beef (tough)! Apparently they do not know how to cut beef properly. |

Wine Tour - Cave
 |
| We toured a Wine Cave - which was in a Cave in Tannay (Les Caves Tannaysiennes)
We purchased wine of course - very fine wine (Melon - blanc - and a red) which we enjoyed for the rest of our time in France!
