Trip to the Tarn-et-Garonne

[Carlsbad]

We spent a relaxing two weeks just outside Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in July. We stayed with friends at their old stone farmhouse. The Sunday market in the village was superb, and we did a lot of cooking and tried many of the wines from the local area and the rest of the southwest.

Restaurants we tried in the area included L'Oustal del Barry in Najac, where we had an excellent, well-priced lunch. We had a very good, inexpensive lunch at the Auberge du Chapeau in Caussade. We spent the last two nights in Toulouse. He had an excellent dinner at Emile. They serve local dishes in a comfortable atmosphere with great service. Our final dinner of the trip was an outstanding and over-the-top 99 euro menu at Les Jardin de l'Opera. I think I counted 10 courses, each one excellent. Great wine list. In Paris this meal would have cost 2 to 3 times the price.
