Sorry, I was not raised on cheese!

Today I had lunch with Agnès, Marie-Claude (a math teacher at Valéry Larbaud and friend of Agnès') and Claudine, a friend of theirs who teaches at Presles. This would not have been blog-worthy, except that we ate at the "resto gastro", the fancy restaurant in the school where Valéry Larbaud's hôtellerie sections get to practice their art.

Today it was the Première Adaps' turn to serve, so I was surrounded by the class I met last Thursday, looking serious and professional. How scary.

It was an incredibly enormous meal of:

gnocchi à la Parisienne
truite meunière
pommes à l'anglaise et petits legumes tournés
assortiment de fromage
choux à la crème

not to mention apéritifs, wine and coffee.

Our server was Fabien, who seems to be more mischievous and bavard in class and had an unnervingly professional concentration and reserve... at least until we were the only diners left and he started teasing me for not finishing my cheese.

Everything was delicious and enormous and incredibly fancy, with millions of forks to choose from and Fabien to pour the wine and filet the trout at the table. Very enjoyable. If you find yourself in Vichy, do try the Restaurant Gastronomique du lycée Valéry Larbaud!
