  Day 3274 (Tuesday) 26 th May 2026 This is an interesting view of Villefranche-sur-Mer and this is Cannes.   Today is our 20 th wedding anniversary – happy anniversary to us, I can’t believe it’s been 20 years. We went to Place Garibaldi in Nice for lunch in a restaurant we’ve never been to before and we had a new view of Garibaldi. It was lovely and sunny and we had to sit in the shade, summer is definitely here.  Huw had the ravioli a la daube (beef) and I had the ribs with potatoes. It was a great spot for people-watching as it’s so busy and the Grand Tour bus of Nice and Villefranche went past a few times. Later on Huw is going to make Limoncello Spritz because Ken’s wife gave us a bottle of limoncello the other day. The Limoncello Spritz is a delightful combination of limoncello, prosecco, and club soda that will transport you to an Italian lemon grove.  Add some mint and lemon slices for colour, and you’ve got a simple cocktail that is also easy on the eyes....

So it would seem now that the new mayor has allowed them to spread out again and it looks much better. We stopped in Les Palmiers for lunch where we had a mixed platter of different hams, cheeses, bread, pickles etc and it was very tasty. Town was super busy with tourists from the cruise ship everywhere and the market was doing a good trade – it’s so good to see our little town getting busier. As usual on a Monday here’s What’s happening in France this week. The Local France. Paris Saint-Germain fans will be hoping for a repeat ...
