After several months of winter dormancy, Île Degaby is gradually awakening and preparing to welcome the return of warmer weather. Off the coast of Marseille, temperatures are rising, the light is changing, and the sea is slowly regaining the colors of spring.
To mark this period of renewal, the island offers two events that invite you to enjoy its space before the excitement of the season : a privileged moment where the island remains peaceful, almost confidential, and where gastronomy, music and the sea horizon meet.
Saturday, March 14: Celebrating the sea
On March 14th, the Île Degaby bar reopens with a menu largely inspired by seafood. On the terrace, by the water or relaxing on a deckchair, visitors can share various dishes: white fish ceviche, oysters flavored with sea fennel, flame-grilled octopus, roasted sea bass accompanied by a crab soup, sardine fritters or crispy panisse.
A selection of wines with iodine notes will accompany this moment, punctuated by the jazz of the group The Yellbows , whose sounds will blend with the sound of the waves.
Saturday, March 21: Celebrating the equinox
For the spring equinox, the island will host a luncheon created jointly by Emmanuel Perrodin , chef and historian, and Sébastien Dugast , chef of Île Degaby. Around a large, convivial table, they will offer a menu inspired by the Tarot of Marseille.
Placed under the symbol of TemperanceThis culinary encounter explores the balance between contrasts: complementary ingredients, gentle cooking methods, broths, infusions, and floral waters. A meal conceived as a transition to the new season, between sea, wind, and rediscovered light.
The threesome Gacha Empega will accompany this moment with a repertoire of traditional Provençal and Occitan songs.
Price: €100 including VAT (aperitif, 4-course menu, wines, water, coffee and transport included)
