We have moved up to the Swiss Alps for a month in Chateau d'Oex. In order to reduce the withdrawal symptoms of leaving the Luberon, we brought with us plenty of fresh produce, obviously including Didier Challet's tomatoes and an adequate supply of melons from La Corrée - these are the best melons in France and we are lucky to be able to buy them direct from the farm. Incidentally, last month we found some of their melons on sale at the best fruit and vegetable stall in the market in Beaune. Obviously we had to bring a little wine from the wineries in our area and some Cotes du Rhone from Michel Tardieu.
The main challenge is to get from the Luberon to the Alps without getting caught up the endless traffic jams on the roads in France at the weekend. Driving through Sisteron and Grenoble provides a relatively calm and stress-free drive with some magnificent scenery.
