Well, this gorgeous little village nestled on top of a hill overlooking the sea is my most favourite place in France so far! Exploring the tiny winding alleys which lead through all the houses, I was inspired to become a potter or painter or else fall in love with one and spend my days living in a cute little house, growing plants and making jam! It was just so peaceful and serene! Of course, we did visit in winter when it was quiet and apparently in summer it is jam packed with tourists, but then I kinda like the idea of a sleepy winter making cool things to sell and then a party summer with lots of visiting people! Sounds purrfect!
Sonja, the consumate bargain aquisitor professioniale, managed to acquire us the most stunning hotel room with the most ginormous bath you could imagine for some teeny tiny euros and we spent the two nights we stayed there dining at the hotels restuarant, all due to an incredibly charming and very cute french waiter!
Much to my delight, the menu was in french, so once again, Sonja with her trusty french dictionary, saves the day! Well, it took us over an hour to order, as we tried to decipher what everything was. Of course, Lily is meanwhile downing the delicious wine, and our table is becoming more and more uproarish! personally i thought it made complete sense, but sonja and mark thought it was the most hysterical thing ever when i tried to ask the waiter if they served any QUACK QUACK (accompanied by wagging of the arms)! The poor boy couldnt have look more surprised than if I had slapped him with a fish!
Mind you, he did try to explain that one of the ingrediants in a dish was "something from the sea" and proceeded to wiggle his fingers in front of his face! To this day all three of us still have no idea what it was!
Anyway, he became our waiter for the entire stay and we refused to be served by anyone else! And as we were leaving, he asked us when we were coming back! What a sweetie!
