Out next stop was a little goat farm where the best goat cheese I've ever tasted is made. It's called Moreau, and it's a family business that has been running since the mid 1800s. Everything is done by hand, and they distribute primarily to Paris. We watched a little video about how goat cheese is made. It was in French and a little boring, but I was very excited to taste the cheese and see the goats afterwards! We were given a short tour of their facilities. Then we were led to the barn where the CUTEST goats were housed. They were so friendly, they were practically hopping out of their pen to have us pet them! They were just so curious, we were all falling in love. After getting a cuteness overload, we sampled their cheese with baguette, gingerbread, and another bread that had the cheese baked into it. All the breads came from a local bakery, and the wine we had with it was from a local vineyard. I also saw some really pretty pottery and guess where they came from?....a local potter! Everything has a very small town feel, and each business helps the other out. We were sad we couldn't buy any of the cheese since we can't refrigerate it until tomorrow, but we will look around Paris for this brand. We did however buy out all the wine so we each have a bottle for the night!
This was a very interesting part of the excursion, but I still loved every minute! We are on a great start to this trip so far!
