Last week we ended up with a surfeit of lunch invitations. Due to other commitments we missed out on lunch with Carolyn and Ernie, Americans who are amongst our longest standing blog readers, and Janet, who runs a Facebook group for Australians in France that I am active in. But we were able to have lunch with Benoît, who I'm friends with on Facebook.
Benoît grew up in Preuilly, but has lived in Deux Sévrès for 30 years. He is a retired vet and was on a bit of a road trip to revisit the places of his youth. His family owned the haberdashers that Lieutopie now occupies.
It was a very pleasant lunch at La Claise. When we arrived a group of English friends were at the buffet selecting their starters. They had cycled from the next village and would cycle back after lunch.
Lunch was good -- I had fish and Simon and Benoît had steak.
And I took the opportunity to talk to the chef, Christophe, as we want to visit his parents' place because it turns out to be a place we've been trying to identify for a while from an old photo.

Did La Claise replace L’Image?
chm: sort of, simply because it's where you can get a decent meal for a decent price in town.
