Meandering around Moissac
Today was our first full day in Moissac. And, another lovely day - rating 2.5 on our scale.
After delicious pastries and coffee for breakfast, we wandered around town orienting ourselves. Later we had a small picnic by the Canal latéral à la Garonne which runs through town parallel to the river here (le Tarn). In fact, our hotel is between the river and the canal and we cross the canal every time we walk into town.
After lunch we entertained ourselves with a leisurely drive through the countryside where we saw many apple orchards and vineyards. Most of the local vineyards grow dessert grapes - the area is known for its Chasselas grapes which are small, almost translucent, very sweet and absolutely delicious. We stopped to buy two bunches from a farm on the road.
Dinner was inexpensive but somewhat blah - cassoulet for Steve, omelette aux cêpes for Susan and some red wine (vin de table), of course.
