Budget that is, not France. Whereabouts?

Staying in a gite. Nearest town is La Gacilly.
Hardly a town either really. Beautiful countryside and very little light pollution. Stunning night sky.

The French love to lol at that. Last time I was in St Malo, I ordered a salad 'sans thon parce que je suis un vegetarien', in halting French. The waiter smiled, said 'Bon! Bon!' then returned, proudly bearing the salad without the tuna but featuring glistening anchovies.
If my French was better, I would have complained.

I did Standard Grade French. I can order food (just) and explain that I'm ecossais, not a rosbif. The Auld Alliance still goes some way.
