JULY 2022
"Old School Love" - Diane
9:30 am. End of July.
It is already hot in Marseille. We are about to meet Diane in Endoume - in the Bar de La Relève, a genuine place where a couple of locals from the neighborhood are enjoying their breakfast. In a few hours, no more table would be available on the "terrasse". The place is not sophisticated but all Marseille knows it's worth it: homemade food, talented cooks, best in class staff. Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.
The night before was short and the rosé was cold but the Piaggio beat the traffic so we are ahead schedule. Double espressos, croissants and cigarettes will make the day work.
Here is Diane. Mediterranean elegance and friendly talk. Time to order another coffee. Orange juice for her. She is fun and easy going. My headache is gone. The photo shoot starts. There is something special in her eyes. Something special and cold: cleverness.
Inside the staff is busy, a cook grates parmeggiano and a nice smell of garlic gets out of the kitchen. What's on the menu today?
