We arrived in Vence, France at around noon. Relying on printed directions from googlemaps, we managed to find our way to the hotel, conquering 8 rotaries in a little Citroen.
I must say, the highlight of our day was having two scoops of "glace," from a street cart. The obviously homemade ice cream was super creamy with "parfumes," like Nutella, Caramel, and Violets, yum!
After sleeping off some jet lag, we had a pleasant dinner at Restaurant Les Agapes. There, we had the "Plate Discoverie," which was a tasting of Vietnamese Smoked Duck Summer Rolls, Grilled Mackerel served on a "pirinaca," which is a sauteed mixture of peppers, onions, shallots, olive oil, vinegar and sherry. And Creme Brulee for dessert.
A perk about this part of the world, is that everything seems cooked perfectly and all of the products are as fresh as can be. The highlight of the meal was the chickpea fries that came with the mackerel, they looked just like french fries, but taste like a falafel fry, minus the cumin.
Both of us are excited to visit Grasse tomorrow, there we will visit some perfumeries, including IFF's LMR facility.
Best Regards,
David
