Our Mini Break

We absolutely love where we live but just now and again its nice to get away. Our second favourite place in the world is a small beach and restaurant on the Cote D`Azur.

And so probabaly for the last time this summer we headed off at Sun rise for the three hour trip to paradise!

 

On the beach just after 10am, no children the holidays are over for them just peace and quiet apart from the sound of the med lapping at your toes.

The pontoon style restaurant  sits over the water, there are 'two sittings' due to demand, we always go to the first and stay into the second! Its the best sea food anywhere, Prawns, Sea Bream or you can push the boat out and have either Bouillabaisse or Lobster.

With our good friends Paul & Anne awaiting lunch, on one of the best tables adjacent to the water's edge.

A simple platter of prawns and potatoes with garlic oil and tomatoes.

The salad niçoise is perfect, and just 10.50€

This is the Bouillabaisse, a fish stew, a dish that originated from Marseilles.

Simple cooking the bouillabaisse simmers to perfection.

Michel has been the chef for too many years and sadly retires this year but a new chef is being trained up for next years season.

Our big fish - John Dory (St Pierre) not pretty but very, very, tasty.
