Le Bar sur Loup

Le Bar is a strange little village: it's very picturesque, its houses are sensitively restored, the views down the Loup Gorges is magnificent and it has something of the flavour of real France but property prices are more reasonable here than elsewhere.

That's partly because of the weather. Storms that brew in the mountains are funneled through here by those very gorges and it can really rain...

But on a good day, on a good day it's unbeatable...

Thanks for coming to yesterday's celebration. It was good fun..

For Ming: Chocolat Liegeois. This is composed of a ball of chocolate ice cream in a tall glass followed by a ball of vanilla ice cream, pour over some chocolate sauce, followed by whipped cream then decorate with chocolate chips. It's easy to make and eat but definitely not light...
