Sunday Dinner at the Vincent Le Seigneur House

Outbuildings include a kitchen and slave quarters, now attached to the house, and a pigeonnier now used as a pool house.

The Le Seigneur house has handsome wood- and plasterwork, fan-lights, ceiling medallions, and architraves. Fluted columns support a double piazza that overlooks a delightful garden that provides cut flowers for spring dinners such as this one. The broccoli is steamed until just tender, then lightly dressed with high-quality extra-virgin olive oil just as it is sent to the table. Sherry is offered both before the meal and with the soup. With the meal, pour a Provence rouge or a Burgundy at least six years old.
