Its all about the food!

Well I thought I would start the blog off with one of my favourite topics....FOOD!

Having been in Nice now for 7 days we have been enjoying the wonderful scenery up at the Chataeu (more of that another time), we walk to the top each day and then down to the market to buy our food.

Surprisingly its very multicultural in Old Nice.  We have enjoyed so far lots of french bread with various toppings in Cannes  I had cooked tuna with mayo, lettuce and cheese followed by a delicious macaroon!  I love macaroons and french ones are tasty!   We have eaten Japanese, Lebanese, Irish and have found an Italian restaurant that caters for us all.  M loves the mussels provencale and has eaten them twice so far.  Hubby enjoyed a dish that was well he said "unreal" not sure what it was called it had lots of different things on the plate like stuff zucchini etc!  B and J were happy with the Margarita Pizza and I loved the fish soup, a main of squid and creme caramel for dessert.

The  Cours Salaya market is fabulous we stroll the aisles and choose fruit and veg for the day. 
So far the pizza bread (not sure of its thats its real name but thats what we are calling it) is delish.  The strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and cherries are also out of this world.  Its so nice to be eating Summer fruits again.

In old Nice the little lanes are full of restaurants, produce stores, gift shops and boutiques.  We are slowly getting used to buying our food from different stores and of course the market.

Yesterday we had lunch in an olive grove in front of the Musee Matisse, I think this has been one of my favourite things we have done, the olive grove was amazing.  The Matisse museum was pretty good too.

Each night someone close to the apartment we are staying in plays the accordian with all those French tunes...not sure what they are called but I just pinch myself and can not believe we are here in Nice.

Warmly,
