We drove to Southampton and arrived at the Hilton Inn, where
we ate a hearty English breakfast with smoked salmon, eggs, sausages and tea.
After breakfast, we drove to the airport and watched two
hours of BBC coverage of the Olympics while “waiting and relaxing” for our
flight to Rennes.
We arrived at Rennes at around 1:30 p.m. and picked up a car
and drove to Nantes and then to Rochfort sur Loire, near Angers and across the
river from Savanniers. When we arrived
our hostess told us she had made a reservation at a good local restaurant
located on an island with a view of Savanniers.
So after showering we drove to the restaurant. We both chose the three course meal for 25€. We also ordered a bottle of Chateau du Moines
from Savanniers for 31€. The first course
was a raillade of fish in a creamy sauce with a slight taste of tarragon and
vinegar. The second course was fresh
pike (Sarde) cooked in a cream caper, and shallot sauce with an egg yolk
enrichment. The dessert was a sabagayon
wine flavored custard or flan covered with a cherry compote.
Bon Appétit
