The meal this year was cooked by the Café de la Paix (just out of sight on the back right of this picture. They did us proud and it was much nicer being served at the tables instead of having to queue up for food, as we have done the past few years. The aperitif was Sargria (in honour of Spain’s success in the Worls Cup), with a starter od Salade Perigourdine, followed by confit de canard with pommes Sarlandaise, grilled goat’s cheese on toast and ice cream. A veritable feast indeed!
