Contamine-Sarzin, France – An Evening Of Traditional French Fine Dining


December 30th, 2016 - Contamine-Sarzin, France - Dinner at Hotel Restaurant Les Rochers

Michael’s niece, Cheryl took us to Hotel Restaurant Les Rochers for dinner.  

This was a traditional french dining experience with dinner lasting over three hours and local cheese served after the main entree, before dessert.  

Cheryl ordered for us, each entree a surprise.

The servers paced the serving of the meal and the pouring of the wine.  

Guests ate slowly, enjoying the food as well as the conversation.

The food was local and fresh, rich in flavor and texture.  

The wine washed the food down, blending and enhancing the experience.  

I fell in love with French cuisine while we were in Paris this past March Break.

This dining experience in south-eastern France confirmed how much so.
