From the battlements......


We were just about to enter the castle at Haut-de-Cagnes to look around the various museums it contains, when we spotted this rather lovely restaurant from the entrance, and decided we had other priorities, namely lunch......


With a delightful embowered courtyard Les Baux is run by two guys who serve up freshly cooked fish - red snapper and sardines here, plus an absolutely heavenly dessert of some squidgy caramel confection, all washed down with a chilled rose and a bill for 50 euros for us both...


Eventually, we did make it all around the museums and art galleries inside the castle, as well as taking in these lovely vistas from the battlements, and the narrow, cobbled streets of the Medieval village itself...


But I am glad that we got our priorities right by getting sidetracked and starting off with the best fortifications of them all - an exquisitely tasty lunch in beautiful surroundings - something which is really not hard to find here in France....Cheers!


To reach Haut-de-Cagnes take a ten minute train ride from Nice-Ville to Cagnes-sur-mer - walk into the centre of town and take the free shuttle bus up the hill (La Navette - which runs up every 15 minutes) Enjoy!!
