Our niece, Elise, is a linguist who teaches French to foreigners. She lives with her fiancé, Sébastien, on his family winery nestled in the rolling hills of the St. Tropez peninsula.
Elise guides us on a seaside walk, followed by a lovely lunch and French conversation. Lunch is composed of Sébastien’s grandmother’s recipe of anchoïade (thick anchovy vinaigrette served with a platter of crudités), quiche lorraine, baguette and cheese plate, fresh fruit tarts and the famous tarte Tropézienne. Sébastien joins us for a presentation of his AOC Côtes de Provence wines along with a tasting.
