This turned out to be another calm and relatively uneventful Saturday. This was at least partly because we were having my parents over for dinner tonight. As they are going back to Finland for a few weeks in a couple of days, we decided to prepare a very French meal for them indeed, a Boeuf Bourginion (which takes quite a long time to prepare, when done properly).
Since the sky was blue, as it usually is this time of the year, we decided it would be a good idea to do something active though, so we ended up going roller-skating in the afternoon.
We decided to head east along the sea to Le Cros de Cagnes, which is a small fishing village (or rather, was, these days it’s well and truly part of Cagnes-sur-Mer) between Cagnes-sur-Mer and St. Laurant du Var. Having taken in the boats in the port, we headed back.
I then headed west for a bit - where you get a nice view over Marina Baie des Anges, an architecturally interesting (which I guess means you’ll either love it or hate it…) apartment complex in Villeneuve-Loubet. You also get a good view of the Hippodrome of Cagnes-sur-Mer (one of the most famous ones in France), and of the old town (Haut de Cagnes).
The dinner was great (although maybe next time I’ll buy some meat which doesn’t say “Prix Choc” on the packaging…), especially the chocolate cake we had for desert (with a shot of Mathilde’s nan’s Calvados to finish off the affair!).
