The Côte D’Azur Caper

Is the Negresco like my Nespresso? With added George Clooney ?

Had a nice verre de vin in the Negresco in 2019…no Clooney though. Mais il n’est pas Mon genre….

La Maison Auer Chocolate Shop is already selling Advent calendar chocolates and say:

This year to patient until Christmas, give our Advent Calendar Deluxe!

That'll be the one who played the clot machines.

Welcome on board riete - lovely to see you.
I think it's high time this lot had some sensible guidance on healthy eating - way too much self-indulgence here, if you ask me.

When can you start? Breakfast?

Thank you riete. Doesn't le vin rouge break down the bad fats? Well that my excuse.

Fancy a belated visit to a pong factory GSM?
Seeing as we were absent when the chara set off the other day.
Molinard Parfums -
A Creation Molinard expert will interpret your flights off
fancy, and help you to compose the perfect olfactory symphony.
We could lob it in the lavs here if it's too unbearable.
Then we could meet the others as proposed for coffee?

hi everyone, and a big thanks to joseanne for the perfect souffle. glad i thought to grab the alphabetti spaghetti remnants while i was peering at jaume plensa's nomade, to accompany the souffle and to lower the ratio of saturated fats (so much cheese around) or we'll really be needing those clot machines!

I'm also planning to go to the Musée Marc Chagall to see the exhibition Portrait de Réfugiés Ukraniens. Can I join you Joseanne?

Ha ha.

I feel I ought to do the Marc Chagall museum while in Nice and immerse myself into a sea of aquas and azure. Then maybe take a quick look at the wall artistry of Jean Cocteau just up the road in Chappelle Saint Pierre. Les enfants terribles sounds like my kids growing up.
Anyone fancy coffee at the Negresco?
Will these biscuits do? (Also now available in Tesco.)

Nice is nice (as Theresa May might have said) but I am looking forward to tomorrow. Le tennis ? has left me épuisée!

Only if her surname is Kitteridge Doodle. She was bit of a grump. Good telly thought with Frances McDormand.

Ahem. Attention please. Sven is under contract to the Argy.
If he, or his spectacular attributes are damaged in anyway, there will be repercussions. Just keep your hands off ladies. ?

GSM oh yes please. Filet de boeuf for me tomorrow please. What’s for pudding?
Caravan reserve a seat on the bus into town tomorrow please I wish to purchase a large quantity of Olives…..if she doesn’t mind.

Stopping Nice tomorrow not Cap Ferrat. Thanks Joseanne.

Marché aux Fleurs Cours Saleya came top of a list for good shopping. Then a wine shop. Then a cheese shop. Then a chocolate shop. Then olives. Then craft beer.

And a Carrefour for les cookies.

Cheaper at the Co-Op.
But not such fancy wrapping.

Joseanne

Are we going to NICE?

If we are, will someone please remind me to pick up some of those scrummy biscuits we used to have as children, with the sugar crystals on the top?

Are we going to NICE?

Ooh, a clot machine!
I'm always up for a new learning experience.

Sounds like splat the rat.

They can mechanise anything these days it seems!

While everyone's together enjoying dinner, a quick mention that we drop anchor at Saint Jean Cap Ferrat tomorrow, the second most expensive residential location in the world after Monaco.

Wondering if anyone is up for a trip to the Casino de Beaulieu, although I'm a little dubious of what's on offer:

This casino offers up traditional Games, such as English Roulette, Black Jack, Stud Poker, Punto Banco and Poker cash game. They also have numerous clot machines, in fact 75! Which give you the chance to win regardless of your budget.

We can always send Brünnhilde back for more - still lots of ? left in those posh carrier bags.?

Is the vin rouge to make the sauce? If so, we will need double the quantity to drink it too.

Oh Lucca - great to think you have taken inspiration from our humble thread ?
Let us know what, when and where!

I forgot to mention that whilst out shopping with Sven, a red blooded man if ever there was one, he persuaded me to buy a large quantity of filet de boeuf. I realise this won’t be to everyone’s taste tomorrow evening but we could have a vegetarian or pescatarian option. He called on Brünnhilde to bring us back a couple of cases of very nice vin rouge too.

Now for this fabulous soufflé … ?
