Mouth watering haul, Véro! Last Monday I submitted all my papers (such a thick dossier!) for the long stay visa and am hoping to be able to celebrate my return to my favorite city in mid-October. I still owe you a lunch at a restaurant/bistro of your choice :-)

[@francewithvero]

Bonne chance et peut-être à bientôt!

Dash of lime may go well w that radish slices slightly buttered n salted, if marinated in olive oil n vinegar it may taste even better. Anyway, excellent options you presented, merci!

[@francewithvero]

Great idea, but I prefer to enjoy them the old-fashioned way ;-)

[@babsr8479]

The radishes in France are delicious.

[@francewithvero]

Yes they are! So crunchy!

I have a fave bag from Pont du Gard and have never seen another in Edmonton Alberta.

[@francewithvero]

Then nobody can steal it from you either! ;-)
