Sunday in the Park with Victor!

This past Sunday, we took a drive to Vichy with our friend Victor from Brussels. Victor is an actor of TV and theater who also directs theatrical productions. (I will need to insert his website here!) He was visiting us for the weekend and we really enjoyed seeing him.





We had a nice lunch outside at the "Brasserie du Casino" on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Starting with a glass of champagne, enjoying lovely starters and main course with wine, and finishing with special deserts of the house, it was a perfect afternoon outside.











Vichy is known for its water, mints, and dark history during the German occupation. It has a lovely Opera House pictured below:





We did some window shopping and actually went into a couple of stores. Vichy is one of the cities in France that allows their stores to be open on Sundays. So it was really nice to spend our Sunday afternoon there.

For dinner on Sunday night, we treated Victor to the infamous Chicken Wings. While I tried to tone down the spices a little, I must apologize for the final results, which maintained quite a kick despite my half measures for Tabasco sauce, paprika and Cayenne pepper!
