Croissants and Charm

Moulin-Des-Connelles has been a place to paint and relax for two of my painting trips.  The food is excellent, the accommodations charming, the views from the Victorian hotel, a festival of painting options.
The kitchen staff allowed us to photograph them in various stages of meal preparation, but the gentleman creating the croissants was the ultimate.  He was standing by an open window and the morning sunlight was illuminating the process.
There is nothing like the experience of a croissant in France.  Francine, my French sister tells me that it has much to do with the latitude and longitude??  Could be!  Have never had the same taste experience in the US.
The nuances of taste, tweaked by the global positioning of the preparation and ingredients. Interesting!  I think she is right!
