Le déjeuner..Marnay

Lunch for the village attended by 150 people at the home of a couple who have a decorative arts shop in Paris. The menu started with a selection of 50+ salads including those brought by guests, lamb on a spit with 5 different potato dishes and ratatouille, then 2 tables of desserts and cheese. And champagne...or an array of wines etc. Impressive end of summer event and nice to meet friends again. From a sunny & busy indigo day in my outdoor studio at La Maison Verte
Early evening invitation to view the Claude Domec art collection. His works in wax+pigment followed no particular style, but many have Marnay nuances some held in Dijon Museum. Saturday evening the cafe was closed so Nicole (who owns a fashion shop in nearby Provins) and her husband invited all the Saturday night cafe crew to her place for music, food and wine in her lovely garden. A quick stroll along the Soak at Jardin Botanique, and Rue du Four to the Seine.Read more
