Chez Gianni

Here is a view of the farm from the road. After our huge meal nobody came around with a check, very odd. The check is harder to get in Provence than in America because the French, apparently, think that you can stay at your table until you are ready to leave. You usually have to ask for l'addition.

This day we finally asked a group of Parisians, who had taken the fast train down from Paris just for the meal and experience, where we paid. They pointed to a table where you left cash (25 Euros per person, for enough great fresh food to feed 3 people) under a rock so it wouldn't blow away. The honor system at it's best.

What a day, part meal, part theater! We'll go back next year.
