Into l’Ardèche

We spent Thursday night in Valence, and then on Friday morning we packed our bags and hit the road for Sabine’s parent’s country house in Ruoms, deep in the Ardèche.

I would like to say we bonded in an outdoor cafe over buttery croissant and café crème, or at a chic bistro seated in bentwood chairs with steaming mussels and chilled rosé before us. No, Daniel and I met through my husband Ron. He introduced us at Marseille airport and then offered him a ride to the village where we were
