Artisanat, Allez Hop! Come on let's get some beer at a new brasserie in Nice!
Saturday morning Jean-Marc drove us from our vineyard here in St. Cyr-sur-Mer...to an exciting new brasserie in Nice!

At last we pulled in front of our friends' cave à bière. Seeing familiar faces and receiving a few big hugs from Dan and Julie helped calm this unexpected surge of emotion. And the sign, or l'ardoise, outside their shop held a bright promise and a reminder that in spite of the darkness that visited Nice and Paris, Le soleil brille encore...
