In a hilltop village called Laparade, overlooking the Lot valley, is a small restaurant, Le Panorama.
Its courtyard, under the leafy plane trees, has many tables and chairs. But they are empty, as it is a chilly day and the middle of the week.
Just inside the doorway, a neat stack of hay is decorated with broken egg shells, the remnants of Easter.
A matronly woman shows us to a table near the front window, from where, through the trees, we catch a glimpse of the valley below.
A large, portable blackboard details the menu de la semaine and the menu de jour.
Our visitor, Jill, goes for Fred's Burger ... a deluxe variation on a theme, with a tranche of foie gras.
Le Panorama is nicely decorated and has a great feel.
The doorway to a village house is beautifully adorned by climbing roses ... and its shutters of Greek-island blue.
This is the view.
