Our itinerary.
The food was great and I will start with our Chef extraordinaire, Damien Gillon who really spoiled us every day and gave a pastry class our last day.Day one did not start too well but ended nicely, we tried hard to please everybody. Turned out that not everyone was into L'Isle sur la Sorgue! and its great flea market and antiquity stores. One driver had to borrow one of the vans to go get another person. We were left with one van and many ladies, we all went for a drink while waiting for the other driver - Then we decided to reward our patient ladies and all went to la Fontaine deVaucluse. All drove to the property and had a great meal!
Luxury Tours to Lourmarin. Women group.
Here I am about to take off for Paris and then TGV train to Avignon.Get to Avignon, go to my hotel, take a shower, have dinner and then go to sleep!. I am jet lagged!
The next day I meet with the drivers/ tour guides and we work on the final itinerary!. Talk with the chef regarding our menus , we have been working together for the past two years!. He is great!!
Saturday, I meet with Marlene and she takes me to the farmers market in Avignon and I get to watch a pastry class, " how to make macaroons", I shop a little bit and then we go out for lunch,as soon as we are done we will head out to the train station where we are picking up Shila, Leslie, Jacqui & Debbie. We then drive to the property and have some wine and some olives, cheese and bread. Later on the other driver Angelique goes to the TGV train station to pick up the other ladies, the East coast group, as we called them since the first group was the California group, me included!. Dinner @ the property, lots of vino, food and conversations.. Everybody is really excited to be there!
