Greetings dear readers and friends. We had a special occasion to celebrate (wedding anniversary) so we headed to our new favorite restaurant in Sanary-sur-Mer: La P’tite Cour.

Everything slows down here quite considerably… maybe it’s due to the weather, or maybe we’re all just spending too much …
Finally the sun is out and we can really start taking advantage of spring.
