I Drove Through France Looking for the Best Local Cuisine — Here's What I Found

"This two-Michelin-starred waterfront restaurant is a devoted ode to the sea, serving a multicourse tribute built around the day’s catch — from oysters (even suggested for breakfast) to a smoky grilled mackerel with egg yolk and roe and an intensely flavored roasted langoustine that moved the diner to tears. The kitchen sources everything from local partners and is driven by an environmentalist spirit born of a fishing upbringing, aiming to create unforgettable, place-specific memories rather than simply serving ingredients out of season." - Rosecrans Baldwin Rosecrans Baldwin Rosecrans Baldwin is a Los Angeles Times best-selling author and essayist.
