What a lucky lunch stop find on a recent road trip What a lucky lunch stop find on a recent road trip to Bordeaux. Sometimes you just want more than a motorway/autoroute stop on a road trip! Well I do! So I started researching halfway points to Bordeaux from the Haute Savoie et voila I found this great Art Deco themed bistro in the lovely thermal spa town of La Bourboule in the Auvergne, the massif du Sancy - right in the middle of the volcano region, where arguably some of the best mineral waters hail from, Vichy, Volvic… About 15 minutes off the autoroute - but the detour was worth it! So we sat down to enjoy a delicious lunch in gorgeous surroundings at Le Cyrano Comptoir. We ate dishes using local ingredients - the Puy Lentils and a sauce with Saint-Nectaire cheese. A good lunch stop to set us up for the afternoon drive onto Bordeaux! Dishes: Velouté maison de lentilles du Puy en Velay Goats cheese salad - goats cheese roasted in a filo pastry A poke bowl style salad The 2 plat du jours: Brochette de boeuf Chou Farci façon Cyrano with a fondue Saint Nectaire #massifdusancy #labourboule #cyranocomptoir #roadtrip #frenchroadtrip #auvergne
What a great find for Sunday lunch - The Auberge d What a great find for Sunday lunch - The Auberge de Motz in The Savoie and just outside Seyssel. A wonderful lunch stop on the sunny terrace of the Auberge de Motz, just off the Via Rhona cycle path - well when I say just off… it’s a 2.5km gentle climb up to the village of Motz, but well worth it for the fabulous scenery and views! We enjoyed such a warm and friendly welcome, a delicious lunch and a genepi to help us on our way after lunch! I’ll definitely be going back there! Swipe right for views of The Via Rhona route and Seyssel! . . . #restaurantsavoie #aubergemotz #viarhona #viarhonaveloroute #rhone #seyssel #cycletouringfrance #aubergedemotz #tasteofsavoie #frenchfoodblogger #bloglifestyle #frenchblogger #tasteofsavoieeats #travelfrance #francetourisme #visitlafrance #explore_rhonealpes

Todi is about half way between Perugia and Terni, or Orvieto and Spoleto. Umbria is in the middle of Italy in the most beautiful countryside with an abundance of hilltop and medieval villages and towns. Not to mention fabulous restaurants, wonderful food, delicious wines and incredible olive oils.

During our Italian road trip discovering Umbria we During our Italian road trip discovering Umbria we enjoyed a fabulous extra virgin olive oil tutorial and tasting at the wonderful olive farm of Passo della Palomba. Alessandro and Claudia welcomed us onto their beautiful 19th century estate just outside Todi which they have expertly and lovingly restored to understand and appreciate the qualities of the oils. The views from Passo della Palomba were fantastic. They produce some fabulous wines too! The olive tree in the photos is around 600 years old! I am currently writing a blog post about this great experience in the Umbrian countryside - coming soon on Taste of Savoie! #italianoliveoil #oliveoil #visitumbria #visititaly #umbriatourism #italyroadtrip #passodellapalomba #italianwines #Umbria #todi #oliveoiltasting #extravirginoliveoil #olioextraverginedioliva #tasteofsavoie
