A little something.. From Claire: 24th Dec: Christmas Eve in Nantes, France at Mamie's Place

It was like 5 or 6am in the morning. We had to wake up early to go to Nantes to celebrate Christmas at Mamie’s (Mamie is Yohan’s grandmother).

Since Yohan hasn’t converted his driving license, it was the first time I got to sit in the car that is driven by Yohan. We took Isa’s (Yohan’s mummy) car.

I love stopovers. Not for the peeing, but the shops there always gives you a nice break from the car ride. Was really tempted with the macarons. but 3.10 Euros for a macaron from Paul’s, think I rather save the money to buy those from Sadaharu or Pierre Hermes.

A coffee/soup machine. Probably one of the cheapest things I have seen in France so far.

Getting ready to get back on the road.

Finally arrived at Mamie’s but I think I was tired I didn’t take picture of Mamie’s house. Instead, I took picture of the sauce machine called “le Saucier” and a wine bottle cork remover which was wall attached. To attach something like this on the wall, I guess you must really open alot of bottles?

Here is the first appetiser for lunch. Salmon with bamboo shoots? Is it bamboo shots? I can’t remember, but it kinda reminds me of….. Hmmmm… Let’s leave that to everyone’s imagination.

Mamie (Grandmother), Yohan, Me and Papy (Grandfather).

Supermarket shopping for Christmas! I love Supermarkets, and I love supermarkets in France.

My turn!!! My future mother in law bought me so many gifts!!!!

Gift number 3: Make Up Box! (I seriously believe she bought the biggest available!)

Don’t think I own that much make up. Probably just enough for the first tier.
