Cheapies But Goodies In Jura/loire/basque Areas?

[Vinotas]

I will be spending the month of July in France, flitting from one wine region to another. I've gotten many recommendations as to where I should drink, but now I'm hungry and am looking for cheapies but goodies in the following regions:

-the Loire (preferrably closer to Sancerre/Pouilly Fume)

-the Jura

-the Basque area

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Make lunch your main meal.

Stop where the truckers do.

Lunch (4 courses) including a 1/4 litre of wine should be less than 15 Euros.

Are you by passing Paris? There are some worthy winebars in the capital

Thanks!

I've got Paris covered, I spend about half the year there.

I just need some interesting and good places in those other areas.

FWIW, next month we will be staying at this chambre d'hote in Chateau Challon. We will take at least one dinner there. They write, "Traditional local cuisine is served each evening. For epicureans, Agnès enjoys preparing her special "Bresse Chicken" with local yellow wine accompanied by morels in cream..." Dinner = 22€ per person.

One can also visit the Vagnes cheese factory in the village where "Comté, Morbier, Bleu de Gex, raw milk Raclette and Mont d'Or cheeses are sold to the public in season."

Wow, that looks amazing, and quite beautiful. I may have to stop by for dinner one night.

Thanks so much!
