Kafé-In a new restaurant in Cagnes-sur-Mer About a month ago I was showing my wonderful town of Cagnes-sur-Mer to my friend as she was thinking of moving here after living in Nice for two years. As we were moving up on Kennedy Boulevard next to the Hippodrome, we stopped at this little restaurant to replenish our [...] Since yesterday was Mother’s Day I called Aunt Sophie to wish her a happy Mother’s Day. But like she often does, and I know that by now, she just says “oui, oui” and she doesn’t pay attention to what we say. Then I headed to the Cros-de-Cagnes as I knew the local Rotary Club was [...]
Last week-end the Hippodrome in Cagnes-sur-Mer was home again to the Le Salon des Vignerons. This particular wine show comes here twice a year and I attended it last year just three days after I landed in France.

I can see why my friends may have seen some, but unlike her, I have not been escaping or trying [...] The beautiful and multicultural city on Antibes on the French Riviera is home for the fifth consecutive year of this sweet and salty ‘gourmet-gourmand’ event. “Pain, Amour et chocolat” is sponsored by the Côte d’Azur Italian chamber of commerce and the Alpes-Maritimes Chamber of trades, arts and crafts. You have to understand that in France, [...] I still don’t believe that I have been in France for nine months and still haven’t been to Italy. I adore Italy, I love Italian men and I love Italian food and wine. I can almost remember every dish I have eaten since the first time visit in 2002. Ventimiglia is the closest Italian town on [...] Happy New Years may this year only bring you happiness, joy, health, love, prosperity and wisdom to concentrate on the good in people and events and let go of the negativity that sometime blinds us. I hope you ended the year on happy notes and surrounded with people you like. I trust that you also [...] I have to admit that I am not too keen on Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. I feel it’s like birthdays; after a while they’re just like any other day. But since it’s my first holiday season on the Med, Aunt Sophie and her family would not have me celebrate Christmas by myself. “Christmas has [...] It’s been raining almost non-stop for three days along the coast, and we all had enough now. So this morning when I woke up and noticed it wasn’t raining anymore, I was out of the apartment to see what the Med looked like. It actually looked the same at 9 o’clock in the morning as [...] |
