Jersey, the Channel Islands.

L/S of a street with fields in the background, there is a wooden bar in the street with 'Le Moulin de Lecq Children's Cocktail Bar' written on it. Two women, dressed in traditional costumes from Brittany, are serving behind it and a group of children are stood in front of it. A girl in a blue dress walks away with her drink and a boy holding hands with a little girl and a toddler walks up, another child walks up behind them. This is the children's equivalent of the adult cocktail bar with soft drinks instead of alcohol.
