On Saturday night we ambled up the hill in the rain and met friends for an evening of great music and gourmet food. Popular local duo Franquette were playing at the Restaurant l'Image. I enjoyed a meal of seared Brussels sprouts in a soy sauce based Asian marinade, followed by beef rendang, with a dessert of five spiced apple crumble. Franquette contributed their popular ballads and to my relief the acoustics in the dining room at l'Image are good. William Knox on acoustic bass and Astrid Veigné on vocals and baritone ukelele are always a treat. Simon had booked quite early and we got a table right next to the performers. The restaurant was full and the bar was packed. It was one of those intimate events that the best villages can offer.
My view of the performance.
