If first impressions are lasting ones, then the EMMA hit it off just right. We were all very pleased with what we saw and experienced. We met everyone, Liz and Rene, the owners, and Anita and Christophe, the young couple working as hostess and driver/crewman. More on each later.
We had champagne and snacks, then cruised for a short time before tieing up for the night.
Food on the EMMA was a special experience and every meal something to write about, so I will!!.
The EMMA has a fully stocked bar, so we had a cocktail, then sat for dinner on the deck under a canopy of trees in this beautiful setting on the canal. We started with an appetizer of cold asparagus served with lime mayo and shaved parmesan. For this course, a local white wine. The wines of the Languedoc-Rousillon area are very good but not as famous as Bordeaux or Burgundy. Dinner was chicken in a sauce with green beans and new potatoes, a simple start that fit eveyones taste. We had 2 bottles of a local red with dinner. A cheese course followed along with dessert and coffee.
