Stop at Chez la Tchepe for a pre-dinner drink and some étang-grown oysters. The terrace is perfect for watching the light fade over the water. Since you are arriving before the main dinner rush, service will be quick and you can secure a good spot.
17:14
Walk up to Plagette, the 'little beach' just steps away. It is the ideal vantage point for the sunset. The net for volleyball adds a touch of local life to the scene, and the view stretches out over the oyster beds towards Mèze. Stay clear of the volleyball net as you settle in.
17:49
Head to Le Petit Bouzigues for dinner. This intimate spot with only 16 covers is run by a single chef and waitress, offering superb cooking 'à la plancha'. The octopus is a specialty, but any dish here is a treat. The atmosphere is warm and personal, making it a perfect end to the evening.
Local tip
Le Petit Bouzigues is small and popular. If you want a table, arrive as the sun is setting or call ahead if possible. Chez la Tchepe is also a great spot for fresh oysters if you prefer to eat your main meal there instead.
