On the first Friday we tucked into a delicious buffet at the l'Equipage restaurant above the Capitainerie in Cherbourg, with several platters of oysters, little fishy morsels, chunks of pate, local cheeses, and waddled off into the night wishing we'd brought doggy bags.

The St Helier Yacht club did us proud for our final dinner.  When the first plate of five profiteroles arrived, we thought it was for sharing - but no!
