French Sunday Lunch....

On the shores of Lake Annecy - every boat stop has a lunch area - because the combination of sun , water, and Sunday lunch is irresistible. Sunday lunch is still of major importance in French culture , and will readily last four hours.

Sunday lunching once with French friends at the best country house hotel in the south-west - the Chateau de Cavenac near Carcasonne - Linda asked if we had noticed how very kind French uncles were - so many of them taking their nieces out for Sunday lunch! Nudge-nudge!
