Just over the road we visited La Halte d'Autrefois in time to milk the goats ourselves.

Valerie Magniez, who started the farm in 2001 with a single goat to provide milk for her family, brought out a plate of their cheese and apple juice which we ate on a bench in the late evening light.

Appeals judges last month put the case on hold until the state's highest court rules on Trump's argument that presidents aren't subject to state court lawsuits while in office.

The delay came about three weeks before Trump was due to undergo sworn pretrial questioning.

Carroll, a longtime Elle magazine advice writer, alleged last year that Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.

She said it happened after they ran into each other by chance and bantered about trying on a bodysuit.

Zervos, a California restaurateur, was a 2006 contestant on the Trump-hosted reality show 'The Apprentice.' A decade later, she became one of more than a dozen women who came forward during Trump's presidential campaign to accuse him of sexual assault or sexual harassment over the years.

On the ferry back, extremely grateful for the lack of luggage restriction when travelling by ferry, we left the cheese in the boot, safe in the knowledge it wasn't stinking out our suitcases, and went for a slap-up lunch.

Next to the club lounge and away from the bustle, but open to all passengers, the brasserie has dazzling port-side views of the calm sea.

Carroll and the other woman, former 'Apprentice' contestant Summer Zervos, claim Trump besmirched them by calling them liars after they, separately, jumbo89 accused him of sexual assault.

Jean Carroll's defamation suit and 'extensive and burdensome' information-gathering requests should be delayed until New York's highest court rules on whether another woman can proceed with a somewhat similar suit.

She is seeking a DNA sample from Trump to see whether it matches unidentified male genetic material in skin cells on a dress that Carroll says she wore during the alleged rape, didn't launder and has since worn only once - to a photo shoot for a magazine story that aired her allegation last year.
