I was wondering if JY was considering organising any tours in France visiting vineyards and chateaux serving gourmet meals? I've enjoyed doing this before, but don't really fancy going on my own and particularly don't like the idea of having dinner on a table for one! I'd be happy to make some suggestions and even be a guinea pig for the first trip!!

Hi David,

The official line is that this isn't something that is being worked on at the moment, however the response from JY Will was that he thinks its a very good idea.

Will and his team really do listen to the community so I'm going to say, if any other travellers would be interested in this type of trip - have your say on this thread.

Hello

This is something that I would be very interested in. I love France, I love food and I love wine. It is very difficult to enjoy on your own, so I do hope an itinerary can collated.

Thanks Julia and great to see so many others enjoy the same

Hopefully Will can come up with some good ideas for a starter - which for me would be a dozen oysters and a glass or two of a nice chilled Chablis!

if we ever meet up on tour I would be pleased to meet you but would have to distance my self at meal times !!!

My husband is a meat eater so if we go out for a meal out I tend to NOT sit opposite him, so I don't have to see to much! While in NZ I found eating hard so I did have I think they called it blue cod on about 4 occasions. So yes I can do cod if I have to.

Saying all this some of my most enjoyable meals are at carverys as I love vegetables etc.

Eating is such a chore ha ha ha

Hello All,

Following this conversation has made me laugh. I love a medium rare steak, best one ever was in a French restaurant called Montparnasse in New York.

My French penfriends' Mum is a Cordon Bleu chef and she used to serve us wonderful meals, never told you what was in it till you licked your lips at the end :P

Not keen on wine or beer, love a good cider though and have tasted some wonderful homemade ciders throughout France.

Sure would love a fine food tour :)

that sounds wonderful! steak needs to be rare and the claret vintage.... some oysters as a starter would set it off nicely....

Now that's sounds great - particularly with a nice glass of white burgundy such as a premier cru Chablis or even a glass or two of champagne!

Now what about desert.....?

Count me in too, love France. I think dessert should always end with creme brulee. But for starters I love escargot in garlic butter - how about you.
