Bouziques

January... when days are short and skies mainly grey, it's wonderful to make an escape to the little fishing village of Bouzigues, famous for its oysterbeds and seaside restaurants. Last week, we turned Wednesday into Sunday, and went to enjoy the catch of the day along with a fresh breeze from the sea.

'Le Grand Bleu' is our favorite. The service is warm and the food excellent, no wonder it's always packed... don't forget to make a reservation in advance.

Although it's a fish restaurant, I can never resist having Pimentos as a starter...they are so delicious.

The perfect wine to go with it..the local Picpoul de Pinet

And of course aioli, olive oil and 'Fleur de Sel' salt from the Camargue

  Beautiful soft light after lunch

Capsule wardrobe pieces: grey turtleneck sweater, blue jeans and a camel coat. 

Accessories: Hermès Picotin 18 in bleu sapphire, Chaine d'ancre enamel bracelet and Evelyne gloves in camel

Shoes: suede sneakers

Le Grand Bleu:  13 Avenue Louis Tudesq, 34140 Bouzigues, Tel: + 33 (0) 4 67 78 72 09

Capsule wardrobe #162 - January

January has been quite gloomy so far... we've had weeks of overcast skies this winter, which is unusal for the South of France. Occasionaly there has been a clear morning, but by mid-day it's mostly back to grey. Most years, winter is such a lovely season.. it comes with blue skies, crisp air and cosy home comforts. I hope the sun will make a comeback soon...I am longing to see nature being transformed into a sparkling winter's dream.

Capsule wardrobe pieces: blue jeans, cream silk blouse, grey sweater and black coat.
Accessories: Hermes 'La Femme aux Semelles de Vent' 90 carré in a pleated rectangular fold, Hermes 'chaine d'ancre' printed enamel bracelet and Birkin 35 in black.
Shoes: black ankle boots
