OK haven’t been to France since I was like 18 and just as I remembered the people suck (sorry France).  It’s this losing combination of rude arrogance and weakness that makes you want to punch everyone you interact with in the face. The French that know English I’m convinced were solely motivated just to be condescending to American and British tourists.  

To make up for this behavior the food better be amazing and in Provence so far it is! Provence is world renowned for its produce because of the natural herbs that grow here season the air (the wine term for this in relation to Provence is Garrigue) paired with its extreme sun creates hands down the best produce I’ve had.  Just the run of mill produce blows everything the US has away (credits to Monsanto).

Off the plane I picked a random restaurant on the Rue Marceau and it was phenomenal. The steak tartar with shaved Parmesan, pine nuts, truffle and field greens was one of the best I’ve ever had. With it a burratta Tomato salad along with the Burgundy made for a pretty amazing lunch. 

For dinner we picked the highly recommended Fred L’Ecailler seafood restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The shellfish dishes here were amazing, order all of them you can afford. Fred L’Ecailler’s scene is pretty vibrant it’s clearly the choice of Cannes summers local elite.  With dinner we picked a rose from Provence that went perfectly.  EAT HERE! 5*

FYI people in Cannes only eat after 9 pm every night which with kids is amazing, had a popular restaurant entirely by our selves at 7 pm.
