Bon Jour KMFA blog readers!

Today’s posting is a special greetings all the way from Avignon, France.  KMFA’s first international tour ever – La Belle France is well underway in southern France.  A group of 16 KMFA listeners and Dianne Donovan and myself traveled to France to enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes, and pleasures. 

We have successfully eaten our way from small village to village in the Provence area.  In fact just today we toured an olive grove and learned the process from tree to table.  We learned that France produces .02% of the world’s olives.  And the particular grove we toured today produces some of the country’s top quality olives for olive oil and table olives.  Yum!

Afterward, we were taken to Cabro D’Or a relais chateau French restaurant in the middle of countryside.  Two hours and four courses later we continued on our way to view some Roman ruins and see Van Gogh’s inspirations in Arles.
