Friday is ‘fish’ day in many countries regardless of religious preferences. It may have started as a religious practice but it is now almost a golden rule in many restaurants to serve a fish or seafood dish on Fridays. I remember as a kid in Brittany, the fish monger would drive around small towns selling [...]

In the past month I have spent a lot of time in Juan les Pins a small town squeezed between Antibes and Golfe Juan. Even though Juan les Pins is only a 20 minute train ride, it’s so different than Cagnes-sur-Mer. For one thing; it’s much more touristic. There are people from all over the [...]
I haven’t been writing much in the last month as nothing real interesting has happened. Of course, whenever I see something beautiful I start writing in my head. But then, I don’t think it’s interesting enough to share. But basically, spring is here and the temperature is now in the mid 60’s (18C) [...]
It seems as March is Carnival time everywhere; Rio, New-Orleans, Venice, Trinidad and Tobago just to name a few and also not to forget worldwide St-Patrick’s Parades going on too. But since I am on the French Riviera, I went to check the ones nearby; the Nice Carnival, our little Cagnes-sur-Mer and the [...] I finally watched this wonderful movie tonight. Since the book came out, I have been told time and time again to read the book. I guess my friends saw some similarities between our life’s stories. 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 [...] A couple of my friends have been asking what I have been doing since I haven’t posted in such a long time. Basically, nothing and that’s why I haven’t written. The month of December was busy with the daily hospital visit to Sophie and then it was Christmas and New-Year Day. Since my life was [...] When I arrived to Cagnes-sur-Mer six months ago, the first thing is did was put my flip-flops on and went walking along the beach to explore a little. I loved that the beach was just steps away from Sophie’s house, and now I am even closer to the beach. I loved that the [...] It was six months ago that Adrienne and Jane drove me to Miami airport, still not knowing if I would be able to flight out to start this new chapter in my life. I am sure you all remember the Iceland Eyjafjallajökull volcano which erupted in April and paralyzed air traffic across [...] |
