A pot of vegetable soup on the go. We call it 'Meirionnydd Soup' in honour of Auguste Guyard, known locally as 'the Frenchman', who settled in Barmouth after leaving Paris. He was a gardener and philosopher and spent his remaining years tending gardens on the slopes of Dinas Oleu and making Meirionnydd Soup, which he shared with the local poor. He was buried where he lived above Barmouth, and you can visit his grave and see the beautiful view he loved.

I often make a vegetable soup on Sundays. We call it 'Meirionnydd Soup' in honour of Auguste Guyard, who had a fascinating story and lived out his final years in Barmouth, gardening and making Meirionnydd Soup.
