Au revoir David et Alec

A breakfast of bread and honey from the bees of the king. The bees have busied themselves collecting nectar from Lavander flowers and the taste is as delicious as any honey I'va had - it may even rival Southland clover honey!

Feeling a bit stiff and sore today so didn't venture out early, but I did get to see the area around the Panthéon and St. Etiènne-du-mont, not far from the hotel where David and Alec are staying.

The Panthéon was orginally erected as a church when Luois XV recovered from a serious illness. Now it is secular and honours the contribution of all the gentle men of France. It contains the tombs of some eminent French people including Voltaire, Rousseau Victor Hugo and Marie Curie.

Sasha joined us for dinner at a chic restaurant, lavishly decorated; we had confit de cannard avec froi gras and I had an entree consisting of leeks and curry.
