Cremieu – mais pas de dejeuner

Another weekend, another day trip to a beautiful village in the Auvergene-Rhône-Alpes region.

This time it was Cremieu – a lovely setting with a Benedictine priory at its centre.

The cloisters

Beautiful though it was, the restaurants were all full. It’s speciality is le gratin dauphinois but we didn’t get to sample any. One restaurant had frogs legs on the menu but we eventually had to go home with empty stomachs.

On the way we stopped off at a lake.

The noise of frogs in the bullrushes was impressive. If we could have caught some, we could have had lunch after all.
