We feasted on hearty French fare: an onion soup with Gruyere cheese, medium rare steak sautéed in butter with a bordelaise sauce and purees of spinach, carrot, and garlic and finished with a bittersweet chocolate soufflé. It was a reminder of the trip that we were supposed to be taking that moment in France. But with train strikes and a country in chaos, we had quickly changed plans and headed to Mexico. And so we sat in a gourmet French restaurant at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya in the middle of the Yucatan jungle drinking our Côtes du Rhône.
