Emilie and the Cool Kids - Mougins

If you have been to the French Riviera, then you probably know of Emilie and the Cool Kids.(previously Emilie's Cookies)

If by some strange happenstance you didn't walk by one or eat there, Emilie's is a restaurant franchise that makes cookies, cupcakes, vegan desserts, etc.

They serve brunch and bagels as well for you savoury/salé lovers.

All of their locations along the Côte d'Azur have a cool atmosphere and staff (probably why they had the name change - much more on-brand now👌)

Today Emilie's opened up their Mougins location and we decided to hop on over to treat the girls to some sweet goodies.

Balade à Biot

Lately, we've been loving to take family walks through different towns and villages to burn of some of the girls' energy.

They sprint up and down cobblestoned hills while we stroll along behind them.

It is a nice way to see all the little side streets these gorgeous towns have tucked away.

This was our afternoon in Biot

France Finds: Annecy in the Winter (Travel Photos)

As you might already know, I live in a sunny seaside town in the French Riviera.
What you may not know is that I actually dislike hot weather and beaches 🙈
Blasphemy, I know.
I love cloudy weather, having all four seasons, and mountainous regions.
Do you know which town has all of those things?
(hint: it is in the title 😂)

Annecy.

Where To Eat In Annecy France

My hubby and I recently went on a lovely couple's getaway to Annecy, France.
Nestled in the snowy mountains, this alpine town is where skiers go after a long day on the slopes.
And how do they warm up after hours in the snow?
FATTY FOODS.
Raclette, Tartiflette, Fondue... I am drooling just thinking about it.
My hubby and I didn't partake in any winter sports, but we definitely ate as if we did.

Here are the amazing places we ate at during our weekend in Annecy:

France Finds: Talmont-sur-Gironde

While in the Sud Ouest for Christmastime, we briefly visited a quaint village called Talmont-sur-Gironde.

It was a very chill and windy day, which cut our visit short as the girls were freezing.

Nonetheless, it was a lovely time.

Three Christmases Throughout France

Every year we have a few Christmas celebrations, but celebrations were prolonged this year as we road-tripped to visit the girls' great grandma on the west coast.

The girls were so good with all the traveling we made them sit through.

(Makes me want to do more family roadtrips, but the hubby isn't feeling that 😂)

Here are our three different celebrations...

France Finds: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

I have been living in France for almost 6 years and specifically the French Riviera/Côte D'Azur for 5 years, so I thought I would start up a series about places I love here.
First up on the list:
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild 

That Autumnal Feeling

Winter is creeping up on us.
It snowed near my husband's workplace today...
So let's pretend it is still perfect autumnal weather. 👍

A Night à la Fête Foraine

This week we took the girls down to the fête foraine (like a little carnival/fair) at the esplanade du Pré des Pêcheurs in Antibes.
They had so much fun fishing for ducks and going on rides.
Well... Ellie had fun on the rides.
We learned that our little firecracker Coco is pretty terrified of roller coasters... 😬 🤦‍♀️

Oops. Mom fail.

Nissa La Bella

The other weekend we headed to Marché aux Fleurs in Nice to buy our weekly bouquet.

After that we took a little stroll around to shake off some energy.

It was a lovely afternoon.
