Tarascon and Dolium

On Sunday, my Oma and Opa arrived. They have been traveling around Europe for 2 months and they dropped in to stay with us. They had bought us some very fancy Swiss chocolates and so we sat down and devoured some with a cup of tea.

In the morning we left for Tarascon, a big town to visit the chateau of, well, Tarascon. We walked around the chateau rooms. There were many winding staircases and when you walked into the rich rooms where the kings and queens probably slept, in the corner there were tiny rooms where there was a hole, where they obviously went to the toilet, and it dropped around 60 meters!! After we had looked around the castle we went to a cafe to go and eat. I had ham and wedges.

That afternoon we drove to Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. We stopped at a cafe and had a milkshake and ice-cream.

Oma and Opa took us out to a restaurant called Dolium. It is a restaurant as well as as a cooking school. Dolium is a very fancy restaurant that is even in the Michelin guide! The Michelin guide is a guide where all of the best restaurant in France get listed. I had never been to Dolium before. For entree I had a spicy eggplant mousse that tasted like guacamole. For main I had the fish. And for dessert I had an apricot nectar and ice-cream dessert. It was sooo good! Next door there is a big wine cellar and when you go in you stand on glass and can look down into a wine cellar!

:-) YUMMY!! Au Revoir.
