The wives of G7 world leaders enjoyed the best french wine, peppers, and traditional dances while their husbands were at the tense summit

The first ladies traveled to the village of Epselette, which is situated in the Basque region in the southwest of the country.

The spouses then had lunch at the Villa Arnaga, built by Edmond Rostand, the French playwright who wrote Cyrano de Bergerac.

Macron, Trump, and Tusk were in the front row for a performance by traditional Basque dancers in the villa's garden.

Trump and Macron were side-by-side throughout the day, which marked their latest friendly appearance one year after Macron called Trump "really fun."

The group also attended a traditional song performance in the stunning Saint-Etienne church, not far from the villa.

The spouses took to a field trip to see the region's famous "Piment d'Espelette," which are dried red peppers.

The peppers were used in the G7 dinner held for leaders in nearby Biarritz the night before.

Espelette Mayor Jean-Marie Iputcha led the women on a tour through the village and they ducked into nearby shops and bakeries.

The spouses made a stop to enjoy some French wine.

In true French fashion, a wine expert sporting a beret led the women through a wine tasting.
