One of the greatest treats about living a half hour from Carmel-by-the-Sea is exploring all the nooks, crannies, shops and restaurants hidden in the side streets. Wednesday I met my friend Jackie at Casanova's for lunch -- it was a glorious day and we had such a wonderful time!
 |
| We felt most welcome! |
 |
| So many details to soak in! |
 |
| I love the old European atmosphere! |
 |
| We were seated in one of the inside patios... |
|
 |
| ...next to a fountain with the enchanting sound of trickling water. |
 |
Van Gogh's Table room is a small room for private dining, sequestered by old doors. This is the actual table Vincent van Gogh ate at while residing at Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-Sur-Oise, an artist's village, near Paris.

| Wine in an old tub |
 |
| The Wine Cellar... |
 |
| ...and veggies by the bin. |
 |
| An old stone sink ~ and interesting mosaic tile work above. |
 |
| Some of the details... lace on the doors and windows, windows peering into other rooms, scarves over the lamps, and water brought to your table in glass carafes. |
 |
I imagine talented hands find that accordion to entertain guests with a song from time to time!

 |
| A nice walk through town on my way back to my car, took me past the Carmel Fire Station. |
 |
| Leaving my beloved Carmel, via Ocean Avenue. I used to live just four blocks from this arch. I'll be back soon! |
Enjoy my pictures, BUT to experience the real ambiance of Casanova's go on a TOUR with the video on their website:
