Thanks to everyone and especially to Stu for all of the good recommendations and information. I need to digest it for a while, get my wife to review it, and do some more research on the internet. Stu - I like the itinerary suggestions. I'll continue to monitor this thread for a while. If I have more questions, should I return to this thread or start a new one?

Did you e-mail me for my Provence itinerary yet???. I have not received any request from someone who might be you. I've had a few other, though. I'll also attach my Burgundy restaurant write-up.

The Burgundy articles were published before the bonjourparis.com site moved to a new location, twice. That's why I was surprised to think that they might still be up. I've asked Lyndell to mail be privately so that I can forward the requested articles to her.

-Cabillaud a la vapeur with a vanilla/olive oil drizzle, layered with wild mushrooms, served with a pork bun with a crustacean filling, on a bed of cucumber-wrapped ratatouille. This was not your grandmother’s cabillaud recipe

-Porc cotolet (cutlet/loin) served with artichoke mousse, drizzled with peanut butter with a cluster of small wild mushrooms in tempura
-Pyramid of chocolate with other sweets
Other restaurants – all were excellent
Le Jardin des Remparts in Beaune. We dined here several years ago, and it was one of our top 5 of all time then. It didn’t “wow” us as much this visit. Michelin 1 star.
La Rotisserie du Chambertin in Gevrey Chambertin. It has an upstairs Bistro, and a downstairs restaurant in a wine cave, with animated winemaking scenes as you descend into the cave. We dined downstairs.
Le Montrachet on Puilly Montrachet. It was “complet” the first few times we tried to reserve. Obviously very popular. My St Pierre was overcooked. Lovely setting.
Relais de la Diligence in Meursault. Excellent value. It was the “sleeper” of the group
Les Gourmets in Marsannay la Cote. Michelin 1 star. Very nice
