Chef Faussat started us off with three amuses: jellied beets, puffs and a soup of potatoes and celeriac, then Colette had a veloute of vegetables, our friend had a perfect egg with autumn sauce and I was treated to a piece of gravlax with chopped winter fruit (unpictured).  Our mains were beef and the chef's famous cognac-flamed partridge with its innards and foie gras and such.  For dessert, Colette got a praline soufflé on her "menu" while we indulged in the mignardises.
