Viviers/ Relais du Vivarais/Lunch

This is the oasis of calm that greeted us when we stopped here for late lunch after being side-tracked by a Brocante on the way down the mountains of Ardeche , wow that was a drive !! 10 k of hairpins.
The Brocante proved to be treasure trove and we left the lady owner very happy , throwing gifts at us as we departed.
We asked for an omelette , no one does them like the French, on the mention of " fries" Madame threw up her hands in horror and said they would do us some gratinoise potatoes , they arrived in little pots and the most stunning smell of caramelized garlic.
This place was a delight , everything you could imagine you wanted, French very much the clients just so heavenly. We knew we had arrived in the very heart of France
