Aigues Mortes

Because our visitors head off to Aigues Mortes and the beach, Jan and I catch up with a few maintenance jobs, like taking all of Jan's empty bottles to the recycling bin (just kidding). Mind you, because we don't go very often, and we usually have quite a lot to take, standing at the bin for 15 minutes listening to bottles breaking must give us either a very good or, more likely, a very poor reputation. I always make a point of saying very loudly that Jan needs to drink less, lest anyone thinks that it's me.

Starved of a day out and a decent meal, I suggest that we nip out to buy a couple of things and Jan comes up with the idea of having lunch at Les Delices du Liban in the market square in Sommieres. They offer three menus, 14.50, 17.00, and 22.00 euros. Amongst the cold starters they have Fatouch, Taboule, Hommos, Moutabal (my favourite) and amongst the hot starters, Kebbe, Falafel, Makanek and Arayess. The wines are sensibly priced and sourced from Collines de Bourdic. If you fancy something different, then this is the place.
