Long queues as there was so much to choose from. It
was an impessive spread
Prawns on the seafood station. We found them a bit
mushy, probably frozen too long.
Frying with onion, two pans on the go
Music was provided by Stanislav Angelov, who
serenaded us with lovely French and continental tunes
John loved this guest's T shirt
Grande Provence Executive Chef Darren Badenhorst
Entertainment for the children was a good magician
who also made balloon animals
He couldn’t do a cat for Lynne, so she got a
rabbit. John got a rather phallic looking sword
Then it was time to help yourself to dessert. This
was the ice cream station where we tasted our first ever popping candy. It
messes with your mind. You expect it to pop in your mouth but it pops loudly in
your brain.
Small individual fruit pavlovas
A child's delight. And some adults too
There is a very good art gallery with some
exceptional pieces, well worth a visit
A last view of the vineyards, some rather old
vines. A marvellous fun filled day with great food and wine, thank you to all
at Grande Provence
