Yes, I agree with Kelly..what is your preference? I would think the hard nougat would be most difficult to chew without thinking about a chipped tooth!
Regarding the employees and visitors REALLY close, I had the same thoughts! Cleanliness issues ( germs) no gloves, or a mask so close to food made me really wonder. C’est la vie, I suppose ;)

That looks like the place! Luckily we got his passport dried out with no permanent damage. The hotel in Boug St A a much better choice than ours which was sell hidden in a tiny street at the town at the top of the hill

Now I'm looking at the map - this is close enough to our intended route this summer, we could detour a little more and visit the nougat factory ourselves!

Do you prefer hard or soft nougat? I did a little search and came up with Torrone - is that a brand of nougat? I'm thinking that perhaps your nougat is my salted nut roll filling on steroids, and perhaps something I would really like!

I like the way she’s daintily showing a little leg for us. Quite fetching.

You two deserve the Girl Scout badge for bravery and courage. ( not to be confused with the Wizard of Oz group) :)

Cattle Egrets it is! (But saw no cows in the trees!)

I love how the French have kept the look of their bike signage mainly consistent throughout the country. The classic green and white signs are always easy to spot.

Just a shame you missed the first part of the Via Rhona it is outstanding. We stayed at that same Ibis in a very snug room

That’s really wonderful. We’ve only seen huge gatherings like this a couple of times before, most memorably years ago on the Guadalquivir at Cordoba. They turned the trees white.

And then, like you, I thought they were little egrets. I was wrong though. I think they’re cattle egrets, which do gather in large flocks like this. Note the yellow bills and the yellowish smudge on their foreheads. Little egrets have black bills.

There will be lots more as we continue to head south towards Spain.
