Hello all--my first post. i'll try to be proper. I've been reading for days (and searching fiercely) and am dying for recommendations for where to eat in the Languedoc. I'll be in Paris the 18th-20th, then Languedoc until the 26th. sadly short. I've got reservations for the 24th at Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse (any good?). So I'll be in that area-- beziers, carcassone, etc. I'm not sure I'll venture to Toulouse or Montpelier, but with sufficient dining reasons, I would go that extra mile. So: short notice means no ***, tragically. But I shouldn't spend the $$$ it requires anyhow. * and ** is fine if I can squeak in and they won't eat up my 401K. My taste is for a small place, not too cher, where the chef is mad for food, and each dish is magical and I can order a menu without knowing what is on it. I love to trust the chef. I can't dress up in diamonds, so forgiving of a traveller's best effort would be nice. It's really really really all about the food. Also, winery suggestions to visit and taste would be welcome. I promise a report when I return.
