Second Trip with KulTour

Vlog from the Pyrenees with #KulTour from kleinjinx on Vimeo.

My first mission for the second trip with the awesome #KulTour guys, was to meet them at the airport in Toulouse, France. In my luggage I had cooking equipment and even our very own Figgjo porcelain!

Once JK and Finn-Erik arrived we drove south to Luchon, close to the border of Spain. Our hotel for the first night was located there. An arch typical French and quite spooky and old restaurant was awaiting us for my first meal of the journey. The staff didn't speak any English, but we somehow managed to make them understand that I could not eat gluten. Luckily they could make up a gluten free menu for me on the spot.

A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru to go with our meal. Château Vieux Rivallon 2001.

The next morning we crossed the border to Spain, and drove to the city of Les. Unfortunately, I cannot reveal what we were shooting here, but I will say it was slimy and crazy fun! Next up we had to scout for the second location of the day. Just by chance, after 30 minutes of driving around we suddenly ended up in the most amazing location you could ever imagine. Just watch for yourself in the Vlog!

Almost as quickly as we had entered, we also had to leave Spain again. The hotel for the second night was back in Foix, France. The second restaurant of the trip had a beautiful view to an old castle. The menu had no gluten at all, which was just perfect for me!

Today I am leaving to France again to record three episodes from the 9th of June until the 14th of June. Sadly one of those days is my birthday, which is not ideal, but we did just have a great birthday weekend in Helsinki. We will be posting about it here in the weeks to come.
