I also love that civilized lunches aren’t only for grown-ups.  Here’s the sign that hangs in front of the elementary school in Hautvilliers, one of the most beautiful villages in the Champagne region.

And here’s what the little ones were eating when I was there: 

Green salad

Sauteed rabbit

Parsleyed carrots 

Pear meringue cake

A quick read through the week’s listings didn’t turn up a single peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
