Led by its Bailli Délégué Gérard Canarie, the Bailliage organised a lunch at “La Flibuste” on Saturday, February 11th. Maître Restaurateur Roger Martins, a member of the Principality’s Bailliage, welcomed guests to his little gem of a restaurant by the sea, against the elegant backdrop of the Marina Baie des Anges in Villeneuve-Loubet.

Villeneuve-Loubet is a town in Provence, half-way between Monaco and Cannes, thus enjoying a wonderful position on the French Riviera.

This year’s festivities began in a Michelin-starred restaurant that surfs not only the web but also the wave of exceptional gastronomy underpinned by a talented brigade. The perfect opportunity for 40 lucky guests to enjoy some remarkably fine and fresh food as well as some wonderful company!
