Stu,

I had a recent email from Christine. They decided to close early this year. They were also hoping to come to Paris for a few days while I was here. Her father is blind and her mother is not well, so it is difficult for them to get away. Christine and Philippe are nice people. Christine's brother Jean-Pierre is an excellent chef.

They were the first, of what are many now, to give Michelin their star back!

Here is a picture of Riboto de Taven from my trip down there for a few days while in Paris last Spring:

Another fan of Riboto.

sherisp. We stayed at L'Hotel des Images in St Remy
but also outside at several B&Bs. Besides the Joel Durand chocolates, the cookie shop next door is a must to taste.
They have a good market day and a flea market
We like to stay in petite villages and in larger places to experience the contrast.
What month are you planning?
