In Chartres:
The restaurant Le Moulin de Ponceau, as its name implies, was once a mill along the Eure. It is but a few blocks from the famous cathedral. We were there this past September. Since we had a reservation, they had saved a little table right next to the big picture window for us. The back portion of the restaurant juts out over the river and so you feel almost as if you are on a boat, watching the ducks go by and the river flow past you. The river was lined with huge willow trees.
Lunch: a very relaxed affair starting with an amuse bouche of shrimp remoulade and a bottle of wine. First courses were a ravioli of goat cheese and a wedge of sautéed, crusted brie served with a mesclun salad. That was followed by nuggets of beef and veal that were painstakingly wrapped in thin slices of sausage and roasted. And a mushroom risotto. Then a chaource cheese which was pungent, sour and salty. Total cost with wine: 84.50 euros.
