It doesn’t really get much better than South of France. We adored Nice, however, it is a city. Which means it is loud and crowded. Eager to spend some time truly relaxing on our honeymoon, not to mention eating amazing French food, Jeremy did some research. Lucky for me, Jeremy found La Mas Candille, a Five Star Resort in Mougins, a small town just a bit north of Cannes (and only a half hour from Nice). Definitely the splurge of our honeymoon vacation, our time at La Mas Candille was not just a few days at a very nice hotel. The on-site restaurant, La Candille, is a Michelin-starred restaurant. We enjoyed multi-course meals and wine pairings, as well as cooking and wine tasting classes. AMAZING!
We arrived on a Friday night after an afternoon driving around the Corniches of Nice. Upon arrival, we quickly heard the Infinity Pool was calling us to come swim. We hung out by the pool for a couple of hours before heading to La Candille for our first night of gastronomique pleasure. We were handed a menu with various options for selecting a starter, main dish, and dessert.; and our team of 13 waiters, including the restaurant manager and head sommelier, managed to surprise us with additional courses and treats throughout the night.
We finished it all with olives and ice cream. Yes, olives stuffed with ice cream. AMAZING! Our words cannot do the food justice, so check out the pics!

I have had deep fried olives and deep fried pickles -- but I have never had ice cream stuff olives for dessert. I will have to try this at home one night. Beautiful pictures of two very happy people. Love Dad F.
