"d'agneau de l'Aube" - that sounds good - the Aube is a fine river near Troyes with trout in it and lots of green countryside along its banks. (when we stayed in Bar-Sur-Aube in the early sixties, some of the local women still did their washing in this river.)
ah, it is a tough life...[dribble, dribble]
@ian The hotel is in the countryside, but it's about 10k from the river Aube. Quite near a large lake though. That might also be full of trout.
@chris yeah, though the weather forecast isn't great so perhaps we won't be using the outdoor pool as much as we hoped
