New Year's eve at Laugnac, Le Relais

In the year 2012, living at our home under the olive tree we decides to go into the wild and bring a visit to our dearest friends in the Lot et Garonne, Le Relais de Laugnac. A warm and cosy restaurant, just next to the mairie. In front a couple of nice chestnuts trees.  We started the evening with a nice child bottle of champagne served with canapes with chicken Guadeloupe, a tarama with fly bird chillies, what the French call a Prelude gourmand. People started to arrive, most of the locals they know us from previous visits. And the obligatory English expat, a poor example of the ancient British Empire.

The owners, Bernadette and Christian, together with their chef the Famous JR, did there outmost to enjoy every taste.  A nice mix out of French, Guadoloupian cuisine.  With bubbles and a good laughter,Dj Lolo,  always the heat of the night, brought us his version about different songs and music. A very nice and funny clown to animate the evening. We managed to fraternise with the French, in a very intimate way, for the pleasure of all man kind. A wonderfull evening, with very dear and good friends.
