VICTOR DE MONACO

Using fresh and authentic ingredients ordered from Lefleuret, here is a recipe of one of the most delicious French meals; Toasts of Duck Foie Gras Semi-Cooked with Mustard.

Living in Monaco, and being the child of the Mediterranean, I always try to carry with me the spirit of the south of France when visiting cloudy and cold cities.

Since 1946, the stunning coastal city of Cannes has played host to the world-famous Festival de Cannes.

  Summer events are starting in the South of France, and an upcoming gathering includes a Svalbarði Water tasting served at a gourmet wine lunch in the beautiful Èze-village on the Côte d'Azur.

So with summer approaching and being the big fan of cocktails that I am, I have started to try out new original cocktail recipes (especially fruit-based) for my house gatherings.

I have heard about the glamorous city of Deauville from many of my French friends who consider it as the gem of the Normandy region.

So I decided to discover a new part of France, and that is in the evergreen Normandy region. And the first city that came to my mind is Deauville. After asking my Norman friend for travel tips, she said that I HAVE to stay at the iconic Hôtel Barrière Le Normandy Deauville, and so I simply did!
