l'Hôtel du Château Beynac et Cazenac

We had the house wine. And I do mean the house wine--we were staying and eating here, at l'Hôtel du Château Beynac et Cazenac:

I think we were one of two tables in the entire place. It was so relaxing!

I couldn't resist the salmon appetizer. So pretty!

I shared with Michael of course, and he shared with me his fois gras (the specialty of the region) and all the dainty little accompaniments, including some ground walnuts (another specialty of the region).

What a great start to our tour of France!
