Bouillabaisse time!

I’ve been doing a bit of a side job as a real-estate agent, as my auntie Tutta decided to move into our friends Anne’s and Pete’s apartment in les Hauts de Vaugrenier. Finally, a few days ago, Tutta arrived and moved in.

What was remaining was for me to hand over her keys – so my parents came over with Tutta for this very purpose. The “pick-up-the-keys” turned into an aperitif, and before we knew it, we’d agreed to go out to dinner. Quite appropriate, I suppose, a bit of a “welcome dinner” for Tutta, and a “farewell dinner” for the fold, who were heading back to Finland for a month.

After some deliberation, we decided upon a real Cagnes-sur-Mer institution, the Charlot 1er, located on the seaside at Cros-de-Cagnes (the fishing port of Cagnes, where I used to do sailing). Charlot 1er specializes, appropriately given its location, in seafood. Since we saw Bouillabaisse on the menu, the choice was not hard – just had to go for that (the last one I had in Marseillle really made a good impression on me).

The bouillabaisse we had here was perhaps a little bit less impressive (this is after all not the Vieux port of Marseille), but still one of the best meals I’ve had recently. And the wine we had with it was nothing to frown at either. All in all, we had a very pleasent evening indeed. Good food, good drink, good company, what else can one hope for ? And we got those keys delivered as well ;-).
