Vintage @ Cagnes




One of the most famous features of Cagnes-sur-Mer is the Hippodrome. When the horse races aren't on, they often organise various fares and other events there. And on this particular Saturday, there was a Vintage fare on. Since we had no other plans for the day, we decided to give it a go...

Before heading down memory lane, we decided to try a new Japanese restaurant (the only one in Cagnes, unless I am mistaken?), Yoko, for lunch. Really lovely place: intimate, with just a few tables. Great, authentic food, properly Japanese, cooked by a Japanese lady. And the prices area pretty reasonable too. Quite liked the green tea tiramisu for dessert as well. Warmly recommended!

The vintage fare was, mm, interesting. Actually, it was mostly about vintage clothing, which is not really my cup of tea, as the Brits would say... But it was good fun, anyway! We ran into our good friend Marie as well, who was there with a friend of hers. I did get my share of vintage fun too, as there was a booth selling vintage movie posters, and there was a pretty nice collection of vintage cars outside as well (some nice Mustangs, 'Vettes and custom hot rods on display...)

All in all, a pretty nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. And good to catch up with Marie as well (who's off to Thailand for 6 weeks – lucky her...)
