Yes he did... But I will get to that bit later!!
After epically failing to stay awake for poldark last night, sleep came pretty easily, although the air con froze me in the early hrs
. With my body clock waking me up for work at 8am local time, we were out on a breakfast hunt by 9.
We were after a 'typical' French cafe, rickety chairs and tables on the pavement, with old men drinking coffee with rolled up fags, over gesturing at the world going by. We indeed find such a cafe, although it was owned by Italians!! I attempted to order in French, when the guy asked if we were English, as his English was better than his French!!! 2 croissants and cappuccinos wasn't much different in French, English or Italian! Either way I ended up with amazingness for breakfast! (The coffee was superb!) we spied a place for dinner and a place called Da Laura which both needed investigating!
From 10 til 4, we read books, swam, slept and generally lummoxed! We had the pool to ourself until after lunch, meaning oasis could be played at a suitable volume whilst we read. Eventually the sun beds filled up, but earphones went on for James and I managed to tune out the cackles from some London girls, who definitely didn't care how loud they were being around a sleepy poolside!
After a proper snooze back in our room, a shower and a preen, we headed out for dinner. Le Hit was our destination as reviews on trip advisor raved abt Jean-luis the maitre-de and the amazing French food!!
I concur with trip advisor ... Jean Louis is a crazy Frenchman who zooms abt the restaurant talking to everyone!! James had frogs legs .... Well when in France... And they did taste a little like chicken!! My duck with honey and fig was a spectacular main and the endless free bread for dunking made me very happy!! With good French wine and fantastic buzz abt the place, it was a treasure of a find! We went for an after dinner strut to the front to help digest 3 courses and then bolted back to the hotel before it rained!
