BOUCHONS

My friends have invited me to taste their typical cuisine.

Once being here, you can of course not miss eating a special lyonesse plat in a place called - bouchons.
Imagine a tiny little restaurant with a style from the old times:

- with natural decorations from wood, with a table set with a tablecloth- red and white, with a few paintings on the wall and many many flowers.

You feel like in your own home, comfortable and cosy, with a few people sitting around you waiting for being served with the delicious meal.

A bottle of wine is already on the table, so we have time to choose, what to taste - while being together with all we love and with whom the dinner tastes better.

Its always a different experience to taste and enjoy the food in the good company of our friends.

My friends are teasing me, as they all well know which meal hides what, but me? the stranger and the visitor has no clue of it)).

Finally, they have chosen me a typical, traditional meal from here, -( which so far I don’t know what it was, it was in a shape of a roll from pasta, covered with some creamy sauce, yammy),  but before that, we all have started with a lyonesse salad and lentils - as a starter.

Laughing, joy can be heard in the space.



I feel the greek atmosphere - I am so much used too, where we have time to be happy together while eating and discussing different life matters.

As this time we are in France), we talk in french,( even though its tough for me), I am so glad to see the smiling faces of other guests around me:

- who seem to be very proud and pleased to hear a visitor, who tries to speak their melodic language.

Eating, speaking, laughing and here the cheese is 'interrupting' us)).

This time the one of the Canuts, I have to try, I hear again!
(Canuts were the people living here in the past, who were poor and who were the ones, who prepared the beautiful scarf made out of silk).
Silk is a significant brand for this town! I will write about it more later:)

Well, lets jump back to the cosy place, where we are set.
Enjoying and tasting all the yammy tastes, suddenly I hear my hosts saying to me:
Time to leave! as a new circle is starting.
I look around and I don’t really understand ,what they mean by this? 

The evening has just started; I don't wish to leave!!!!

They explain, the bouchons works in a system, from 7. 30 pm -9.00 pm is one circle of customers and as we finish, the table is already booked for the others.

The ones, who I believe will enjoy not only the fantastic dinner, we have had here but they will also feel the spirit of the happy atmosphere.

…and before we go, we finish with a lemon ice cream

- to make our life sweet!

Merci beaucoup, thank you a lot!

4 laughing women, who can hardly move, after eating so much, decide to walk for a while and after to take a bus, before we reach our car.

This was a joyful day and I wish you all, my dear friends, to experience it, once coming here by chance.

…..but before of that, I wish you joy and love, anywhere you are at this moment!

Lets the harmony and laughter fill our ordinary days!

BE HAPPY!
