Notes:
My family had spent Christmas and New Years in Southern France and what better 2nd of January activity than going on a small wine trip? We visited Chateau Berne (unfortunately closed), Domaine des Aumedes and Chateau Roubine and tasted (and bought) a fair amount of interesting wine. Thereafter we went into Draguignan, finding out not much was happening except for hipsters iceskating to Gangnam style and thus ended up in Fayence on a lonely, dark night of Wednesday January first. And we were hungry. As Le Temps des Cérises was awarded one couvert in Michelin we figured it would be a safe choice, and their three-course menu priced at 29,5 euro turned out to be a very good deal. I was especially taken with the braised lamb and fell utterly in love with the dessert. Fresh, tart with just a hint of sweetness and crunch, it was pure love. We had local wine from Jas d'Esclans, which was very fairly priced. We left full and satisfied. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
