I don't know where this road takes me but I have no worries because Jean-Pierre, behind the wheel and sitting next to me, knows every nook and cranny here in the peaceful countryside of Auvergne.

Situated in the center of France, this sparsely-populated region may be the least known to visitors to France, or even to the people in other parts of France.  We drive through rolling hills, meadows, thick forests, stopping here and there to visit charming villages and pristine creeks…  A beautiful summertime memory like that never fades away because it's kept forever in the work I do.

After summer, Jean-Pierre spends a lot of time harvesting wild mushrooms in nearby mountains.  He knows secret spots - each for a bounty of particular kind of mushroom.  I imagine he must be busy now cooking and preserving his harvest for the coming winter - and it's going to be a long one in Auvergne.
