Catherine et Pierre Breton in l'île d'Yeu

Catherine and Pierre Breton, with their children, have been taking their family vacations on the island of Yeu or, as French would say, l'île d'Yeu. They now opened a wine bar/store La Dilettante Yeu. That is Catherine Breton on the left in front of La Dilettante Yeu. It serves simple delicious local dishes as well as their wines and many other wines that they personally like. You can also purchase wines and take them home with you. How civilized is that?  I can only dream about this kind of place in BC.  Sigh...

Catherine and Pierre Breton simply pack their family and a whole lot of wines and head to the l'île d'Yeu for summers. By the way, La Dilettante Yeu is opened only in July and August. The wine bar/store also serves to anchor this somewhat remote community, where people come to socialize and eat in a relaxed setting. There are jazz sessions in La Dilettante Yeu. The inimitable aesthetics of Catherine and Pierre Breton wines are also translated in their La Dilettante Yeu.  Their beauty is everywhere in La Dilettante Yeu.  So, if you yearn for an island vacation in France after a busy week in Paris, La Dilettante Yeu may be just the thing.
