This is the same hotel we stayed at on Avignon. They took one look at my walking and gave us a downstairs room. It was at this hotel we got rid of the bikes

LOL - I wouldn't be surprised given your travails over the past couple of weeks.

This IS why you continue to make it! 😉

We generally do just fine. Quitcher bitchin' and get on with it is our motto.

Oh you crazy young things!! Dodie would NEVER countenance riding through a thing like that. Our Hotel is absolutely wonderful. Cannot imagine trying to get up into the town.

The visit is the best part of the experience. The group was small and the space was too. We love it and do not worry in the least about "health and safety " issues, it was FUN!!!

We prefer soft. Easier on the teeth. Torrone is the name for nougat in Spain. Very similar products we feel. Montelimar nougat is worth a visit and a taste. The tour is free, and super fun.

It is meant as a portrayal of the early 50's, or so. Before bike touring was a thing. And besides, who in their right mind would want to ride in that traffic?

Glad you both seem to be doing ok! Hope this continues!

Touché , Scott ;)

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 ;)

Interesting no one is ON a bike in this drawing 😬

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!
