THE FOOD ON " EMMA "
When you start to plan a holiday in France , food plays a big part of it. It is
no wonder that France is the gastronomic centre of the world as the
cuisine is so regional and so varied. The Mediterranean diet is renowned
for being the healthiest, but you don't have to sacrifice flavor for health as
you will find out aboard Emma. All dietary requirements can be catered
for and as Liz tells her guests on the first day, "if there is something that
you would really like to try, let me know and I will do my best."
We are so lucky living in the Midi that we have easy access to fresh fruit and vegetables all year round. We have a selection of fish, meats, charcuterie second to none. During your week aboard you will be treated to the best. Just to whet your appetite!

Breakfast is waking up to the
smell of coffee, warm
croissants and pastries, fresh
baguette, , fresh fruit ,yoghurts,
cereals, juice, homemade jam,
and having the time to sit and
enjoy it all and listen to the
birds.
Lunch is a mouthwatering display of
colorful salads ,pâtés, quiches, tarts,
cheeses, homemade pickles and
preserves and all washed down with a
few bottles of nicely chilled rosé wine
from the vineyard you have just cruised
through.
