‘Ighlight’
Our highlight was Sunday lunch yesterday at the oyster station in the adjacent Bouzigues, The location was delightful. The restaurant, Les Demoiselles Dupuy, fabulous. The food was delicious.... and we shared a tiny bottle of local beer... shared because scary gangs of Gendarmes were on the loose with their breathalysers!
‘Sylvie’ people-watched, a favourite pastime.
The oyster beds, moules beds, the fabby, shabby, working nature of the environment - perfect! Our waitress offered gambas but said they’d come thousands of miles. We shared dorade and mini-monkfish which travelled just a few kilometres, caught by le patron. This is living!

I taught public relations to French business school students in Montpellier (which is close by) for one week in February every year. When I finished, I would go to Sete, which can be seen across the water from here. My favourite restaurant was Les Demoiselles Dupuy, by the fish market on the Canal du Midi, but it closed when the owner ‘retired’ to continue his contemporary art career. Unbeknown to me, his son set up the restaurant with the same name in Bouzigues... and the location is even better (and possibly the food because the son has no art career to distract him!)
