funny face goose
It was all about the farming today! We had a great day at the market in the riverside town of Le Bugue. It was about a half an hour drive through beautiful farmland with small castle's and walnut groves dotting the hillsides. It started out as a super foggy morning but lifted by the time we got to the market. We were ready to try the local favorite Tart au Noix (walnut tart). We picked one made with the walnuts cooked in a honey caramel sauce. Delicious! We also picked up some of the local walnut oil to drizzle on our salad for dinner.
Back on the road and in search of a goose farm. The Dordogne is well know also for it's production of fois gras, it's the liver of geese and duck which has been fattened with extra servings of corn. Geese and duck are everywhere and on all the local menus!
It didn't take long before we spotted a great farm with many of the cute faced feathered friends in action. We chose not to stick around for the force feeding, but I know they are really happy geese!
Next stop, Paris!
