Provençal Aperitif at Sunset

The Provençal aperitif at sunset is a simple moment, but well done. Tapenade, anchovies, well-chilled rosé, market olives, all facing a sea turning from blue to ochre. You do nothing, think of nothing.

The experience

The deck is dressed in Southern mode: patterned linens, wooden board, mismatched glassware. The chef prepares the bite-sized food, the crew pours, and the conversation goes soft. The Provençal art of living, transposed on board.

The service

• Departure 1h30 before sunset, heading for a sheltered bay.
• Garnished aperitif board: tapenade, anchoïade, olives, crunchy vegetables, cheeses.
• Rosé, white or champagne well chilled, at discretion.
• Artisanal breads and breadsticks, selected from the region.
• Possibility to add a main course (grilled fish, fine charcuterie).
• Return to port after nightfall, in the cooling air.

On deck

You settle forward to enjoy the view, raise the glass of rosé at sunset hour, and toast. No loud music, no protocol: just the changing light, the clinking ice cubes, and the South coming on board.
