l'aperitif au bord de l'eau

The next time you want to impress someone with your extensive French vocabulary, try slipping in the word 'désuet' .  Pronounced  dez - u- ay .   This pretty word means 'filled with old fashioned  charm', and it perfectly describes the coastal town of  Cap Ferret , west of Bordeaux.

An aperitif at Cap Ferret is all about enjoying simple pleasures.    A few friends, no crowds, playing around on boats, a few oysters, a few shrimps,  children trying to catch crabs, and the odd bottle of wine.  































Good old-fashioned French chic !
