A few weeks ago we spent the weekend in the Luberon as I had a magazine article to take pictures for. One day we lunched in this superbly old school restaurant in Bonnieux. It was one of the best restuarant meals I've had for ages; especially as for research & photographic purposes, we had to sample some of the apéritifs de Provence.
It was the RinQuinQuin that totally had me. It rolls off the tongue like a cross between a Moulin Rouge show girl and a Noël Coward play. There's usually à la pêche added to the name but I prefer to call it simply le RinQuinQuin.

i bet the magazine was pleased with the results of your photos!
ReplyDeleteeverything looks so, so fresh; the white tones, even that fresh green salad.
come to think of it, i don't think i've really had an apéritif before a meal.
very snazzy!

ReplyDeleteRinQuinQuin, it does roll right off the tongue. I like it too, the sound that is, I've never tasted the apéritif.
ReplyDeleteIn the middle, a real great picture, two old personns. This picture touch me. I love it !
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful shots. The espresso especially makes me long to take a trip. I've got to ask, what do you use to capture such a narrow depth of field. You have almost a tilt-shift kind of depth of field in these images.
ReplyDeletejoseph - thanks you. they were taken with my 50mm f1.4 lens.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely place. And I love the name!
