After Mom and I got me settled into my apartment, we spent an afternoon walking around Valence and taking it in. We ate lunch in a cute little cafe and then explored Parc Jouvet. It took us a couple of days to actually want to walk around that much because the trip and the jet lag kind of took it out of us. We dedicated our first day or two to running errands such as opening my bank account and unpacking my stuff into my apartment, but by Thursday afternoon we were up to getting the lay of the land. We found some cute stores and lots of little cafes and restaurants! I'm sure there will be plenty more to discover and the next few weeks unfold.
One big treat of our first couple of days was dinner at the Maison Pic bisto with Cloé! She gave us a tour of the hotel and restaurant later and filled us in on much of the history of Anne-Sophie Pic and the 3 generations of chefs before her.
Here is our pic from dinner, and click on the link above for more snapshots of the day!
