IIt's Christmas Eve, first stop to the Boulangerie to collect the bread order. It's a busy day with lots of pre orders especially for the buche de Noel, pictured below. Some people have larger orders than others!
Then down to Le Clerc where we buy our fish, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner comprises of a sea food platter notably shell fish with oysters, prawns, crab, smoked salmon and Bulot
Fresh crab and lobster `s, we witnessed one on the floor making an escape - yes they are still alive At this stage!
The tradition in Provence is to take 13 desserts, small, like a tasting menu, whilst on Christmas day after the traditional dinner its the buch de Noël , although I confess we will be going for a traditional Christmas pudding from the UK
And finally a kiss under the mistletoe! Happy Cristmas !
