Frankreich


Yesterday morning as I was eating breakfast before work I got a text from one of the other asistants, asking if I wanted to go to Colmar in France to be Christmassy for the day. As the festivities are edging ever closer and France is a lot cheaper than Switzerland, M and I headed up on the train a few hours later.

To be honest, most (/all) or our time was spent drinking vin chaud as it was only 2€ a cup rather than 5chf (3 pounds) at cheapest. I also got to try the previously unknown mulled white wine. This was also delicious. Unfortunately, plans to buy cheese and meat and wine for today were scuppered because we were too tipsy to remember to go to a shop. Oh well. It was a fun day, and we certainly felt a bit more Christmassy on the train home last night.

  2. White mulled wine
    Sounds interesting
    Does anything different go in (compared with red)
    Is it worth a try or would it be a waste of a 'good Chablis'- AC
