Last Thursday was
a public holiday and we enjoyed a beautiful calm day in the quiet picture
postcard village of Dardagny.
I can think of no
better way to spend a day off than heading to a fabulous village, enjoying a
stroll and then having a lovely meal in a gorgeous restaurant with a pleasant
atmosphere. We had local products for lunch at Auberge de Dardagny (I am still
dreaming of the heavenly plum tart with vanilla ice cream). After lunch we went
for a long walk visiting the village and the vineyards. On our way we saw the Town
Hall, which is in fact an imposing “château”.
If you are a lover
of good wine do not hesitate to explore this sublime area and its wineries. Dardagny
(16 km from Geneva) is essentially an agricultural and wine-growing commune
that counts around 1500 inhabitants, with 600 souls living in the village
itself. It was named the most beautiful village in Switzerland in 2015.

Rather vividly coloured plum tart, dear Reader!!?? I love the matini photo - it shows both the glass and you to great advantage. Thanks for the tip re Russin, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteSorry for that...I took it with my smartphone (felt reticent to disturb the elderly ladies sitting next to our table). Poor quality of picture, I know ;-((
DeleteIf you attend this weekend's festivities in Russin, I hope you have a good time.
That maroon dress is stunning. Your photos of greenery and blue skies are making me envious. It's still pretty hazy here in KL.
ReplyDeleteOooohhhhhh so sorry that over there you are still in smog. But if is of comfort, each time I see your awesome photographs I feel envious and wish I was in the places you explore...really. ;-))))))
