Ready for Rock en Seine

· Fashion

Last year I attended for the first time the Rock en Seine festival thanks to Bonobo Jeans. It was really a good memory, the line up, the ambiance and the sound everything was great.

I loved moving to the rythme of my dear Marina, from the Stereophonics, and discovered a few nuggets such as Years & Years which I still don’t get bored of listening since then.

 

My festival outfit

Bonobo Jeans proposed me to create a special festival outfit for this event and it was with pleasure that I decided to do it again and went to the Etienne Marcel shop to select clothes. Last year, I bet on comfort, this year… too! We do not change a winning team.

The style is a bit more “boho” but, you know me, I wanted it to remain simple without too much flourish: slightly boyfriend-slim fit jeans , a loose linen shirt to freely move and a waistcoat in case the weather would be a bit “chilly”.

I also chose a mid-size bag with two zipped compartments to organise everything inside (a bit Rock, a huge Control freak…haha!)

This year line up…

I’m so looking forward to going there because the line up looks phenomenal. First… Bastille! I already had the chance to attend their concert three times (and even met them in backstage!) and I wouldn’t object to see them a fourth time. Two Door Cinema Club, Editors, Sum 41 are also on my list…

By the way if you are also fan of “Rock en Seine”, I advise you to follow my Instagram account the following days because it seems that I have a few passes to give away… Be also ready! (English transation by Quiterie)

Deauville delights

· Food

During our weekend in Deauville, we finally came out of our hotel, and took a chance to discover a few good addresses which I wanted to share right away!

 

La Villa Gabrielle

(95 rue Eugène Colas, Deauville) This place located right in front of our hotel, is a tribute to Coco Chanel, who for the story, opened her first shop in Deauville!

A few carefully thought-out to Gabrielle in the decoration such as these “tweed jacket” chairs or this portrait on the wall.

For the rest, tables in white marble (smart for Instagram hehe) and a blue-green peacock feather printed wallpaper.

The lunch menu is affordable (20€ for main course and dessert). The waiter of the day was particularly cute (feast your eyes on), efficient and good adviser. The plates arrived really hot and under a cover.

Say Cheeeese ! (= Parmesan cheese ?)

This time I was tempted by the fettuccines with veal, San Danielle ham, Parmesan and foie gras. I especially liked these cousin of tagliatelle, and most particularly when the foie gras was smoothly melting among the al dente pasta, mixing perfectly with everything else: I was melting too.

My SO preferred the 7-hour lamb shoulder confit with soft spices and crunchy veggies with cumin. Apparently tender and tasty based on what he said.

The dessert also fulfilled my addiction of texture mix: melting, crunchy and soft. Everything in mouth thanks to this “Craquant chocolat” and its melty salty butter caramel…

On the other side, a bit of disappointment for my SO and his Villa Gabrielle lemon pie.

Slightly revisited with its crunchy meringue instead of melting: which apparently perturbed him… Anyway, just a question of taste.

 

Le Ciro’s

(Les Planches de Deauville, boulevard de la mer, Deauville) A great envy of seafood led us to this place well known from the festival-goers on the Planche de Deauville.

The previous day, as it was fully booked we came back for lunch on Sunday: the ambiance was a way calmer (because of the bad weather).

We decided to choose the Royal plate of seafood and the bouillabaisse, Royal too. Suddenly submerged by a feeling of laziness (also Royal) to peel the 1/2 crab usually coming along with the plate, I asked to change it by additional oysters.

These oysters from Isigny were so fleshy and delicious: happiness.

The bouillabaisse was devoured/sipped with enthusiasm: I guess it was good too.

Just a disappointment for the dessert menu that didn’t motivate us but we must say that we were not the best judges with our full stomachs.

A Gourmet Tea to share was the most reasonable option: mini-pastries without real interest though. You may prefer an artisanal ice cream along the Planches.

(Les planches de Deauville) A large choice of handmade ice cream flavours: I tried the red berries and crumble. Savoured and approved.(English translation by Quiterie)

Khaki-bronze

· Fashion

You probably saw it in my post on Le Normandy hotel, but it deserves a post of its own. Indeed, these pair of high waist khaki-bronze pants were a great discovery : a slightly peg leg fit, a belted high waist that elongates the leg, an extremely comfortable lyocell fabric.

It complies with all the styles you try it with : casual with sandals, or chic with heels. On that note, I highly recommend that La Redoute produce the same pair in a variety of colours (dark blue, black, beige – that’d be my favorite picks). I’m in the starting blocks to order it if this wish becomes reality! (English translation by Marine)
