Stage 5: Le Cap d'Agde --> Perpignan

Cap d'Agde is the seaside resort of the town of Agde, in the région of Languedoc-Roussillon. Perpignan is a commune and the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France. Perpignan was the capital of the former province and county of Roussillon, as well as the continental capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca back in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Here's what on the menu for dinner this evening:

• Omelette aux Champignons Sauvages (Wild mushroom omelet)
• Asperges au Beurre d'Estragon (Asparagus with tarragon butter)
• Green salad with a walnut-oil vinegarette
• Cazelle de St. Affrique, bread
  

Cazelle de St. Affrique is a sheep's milk cheese from the Pyrenees region; what we'll be eating tonight has the distinction of being aged by famed affineur Herve Mons.

UPDATE: We skipped the green salad -- but I made a Gateau de Mure (Blackberry upside-down) cake after dinner. It was a big hit with both B and N :)
