We wander though the main street at Macqueville and see that the small shop with restaurant attached is open, it’s lunch time and we decide to stop for lunch.

The menu is simple and no frills, I order Filet de poulet a la Charentais (Chicken with Pineau Sauce) and Hubby goes for the Aiguillettes du Canard (medallions of Duck)

We wait in the ripening heat of the courtyard and it warm enough to force us into the shade by the time the meal arrives. It’s a plain and simple meal, tastes good and with hubby’s “Assiette du formager” (selection of cheeses) and my “Coupe liegeoise chocolat” ice cream for dessert we enjoy reminiscing about meals eaten here in former times, with or without guests from The Netherlands or New Zealand that we have bought with us on occasion.

I photograph the old church and add to my collection of beautiful French war memorial statues…
