Summer Wine:
The drink we scoop from the bowl into the champagne glasses, is a regional sparkling ‘summer wine’...It’s called a ‘ Soupe d’Angevine’ . Find the recipe here: www.cocktail.fr/recettes/soup...
Oubliette:
An ‘Oubliette’ ( from the verb ‘Oublier’: to forget ) is basically a dungeon in which they dropped people to be ‘forgotten’. In the towers of the gate the remains of at least one ‘Oubliette’ is still visible... the other one has become a luxury bathroom....if these prisoners, destined to die, only could have seen the future...
