At the flicks- "The Hundred Foot Journey"

Site updated on 09 Aug 2014

On Aug 8th we collected some of those folks who had spent time at our French pad, La Cachette, and watch the Helen Mirren film shot there. Alas, Chris & Louise Atherton who have visited when the film was being shot were away that evening. Lochie's parents Kerry and Leigh Boustead also joined us. Given the film's plot it was appropriate to dine with both Indian and French delights.

It was a light but fun film. Well reviewed by folks including the Sydney Morning Herald who wrote, "Helen Mirren, a French vilage and food porn; what's not to like". But closer to our hearts is a comment from the Guardian's review when referring to our village - "the absurdly picturesque town of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val". Exactement!

Our own opening night gala
... with those who have visited St Antonin

Keeping to the plot- served Indian with French wine
And shots of the movie in our French hang outs
... and in real life
In the mountains around the village


Metres from our house
... where we frequent in winter and summer
...as do local art classes

Café de la Halle in the square
The cafe in quieter times
