then and now

When we first visited Saint Remy de Provence ten years ago there was a tiny little restaurant, L'Assiette de Marie, that  we stumbled upon after I had read about it in Victoria magazine. I was heartbroken that it was closed but I peered inside the windows and was smitten with the collections and displays. I knew that one day we would be back to see if it was still there.

Fast forward to 2011 and voila! She is still there but has grown up to Le Bistrot de Marie and still holds the original spot along with a patio and canopy that holds more tables on the side of the building. Did we get the chance to eat there? Unfortunately no. Reservations were being taken for New Years Eve and we would be on a plane home. Another year perhaps?
