What's the Apéro in Provence
Starting at 11:30 AM, people gather in the shade of plane trees for a first glass of Pastis, marking the end of the morning and the return from the market. However, the main event remains the 6:30 PM gathering, when the light fades and a chilled bottle of rosé is opened. Shared slices of bread with tapenade and anchoïade are enjoyed to the rhythm of the cicadas, while around 7:30 PM, the moment often stretches into a long dinner-style appetizer. It is a moment of pure conviviality where time stands still to make room for togetherness.
