I love France and anything French. In school, I did the 6 years of French and loved every minute of it. And that fact that my teacher in college was the cutest little Frenchman didn’t hurt! So we always celebrate Bastille Day. This year I had this wonderful rouge, blanc and bleu table all planned in my little French mind. But the market had these wonderful sunflowers and that colorful little table just flew out the window.
We were fortunate to be able to spend our 10th wedding anniversary in Europe and we split the time between Italy and France. I found this fun sunflower table cloth in Grasse, France on one of our little road trips to explore the country side around Cannes. Knew it would be perfect with my flowers.
The bright, sunny colors remind me of the fields of flowers that are so typical of Provence.
Found these neat two-tone napkins at Pottery Barn a few years ago and I have been saving them for the boat but the colors were perfect for Bastille Day.
The required Bee…
and fleur-de-lis.
A crusty French baguette, escargot and a Nicoise Salad with cedar plank salmon was the perfect meal to celebrate another wonderful Bastille Day. Merci beaucoup Chef Gar and Bon appetit!
Till next time….Santé,(AKA Danielle)
