Pour le plat, ils ont partagé une planche de charcuterie locale. « C’est , » a dit Thomas. Ils ont terminé avec un café serré et une part de tarte aux roses. Une soirée simple, mais mémorable.

Last night, Léa and Thomas went into a small bistro near the Saône. The waiter brought them the menu and they ordered a goat-cheese salad and pike quenelle.

A simple evening, but a memorable one.
