My kingdom for a Bonnat bar!
This is the magic of Monaco, here all standards and norms are turned upside down. In Paris, when you want to buy a bar of the exquisite old fashioned French chocolate bar “Maison Bonnat”, you go to “La Grande Epicerie de Paris“, one of the most selective, expensive, and sophisticated food markets on the planet (it is...
Marché Provencal in Antibes
The covered market in Antibes is nestled in the center of the old walled city inside a charming iron structure. It is a stellar location, and the tiny city centre is remarkably untouched, although surrounded by hideous developments from the modern era.

Chayotes in Cagnes-sur-mer
Joshua, Segolene and I headed out to do our shopping to get inspired for our holiday recipes, and we popped over to Cagnes-sur-Mer.
