This is also the feria: the mix of all the people of Nîmes, and well beyond. But speaking of mixes, here’s one that’s got people talking this week: water, ice cubes and aniseed alcohol… a popular aperitif par excellence! Except, thatat L’Impérator, the Five Star establishment in Nîmes, the glass of this unmissable aperitif is charged… fifteen euros ! So, there are those who sip it without flinching, but especially the others, who choke or choke. Jean Charles Roux is from Nîmes, he published the photo of his receipt on social networks, with this aniseed comment, well rather… acidic: “In my little trip around the “product” here, with supporting evidence, is the Riri from Maison Al (coup de) Bar. 15 euros a glass, even if here the Volume de Ricard is generously served, for water and ice cubes “they stuff themselves seriously” as Professor Lachaud would have said. Hoping at least that this Ricard quenches the thirst. We say thank you at the end, it’s the least we can do. As my grandfather would have said: in “thank you Lulu”.
Handsome player, with phlegm but also a real sense of humor, Christophe Chalvidal, director of the Hotel Imperator, agrees to respond to the “controversy”. He justifies this price by the setting and the standing of his establishment: “Beyond the price, this pastis is accompanied by decorum. We are in the most beautiful private garden in Nîmes. In a 5 star establishment. We have twelve musicians on stage every night. Around the Pastis, there is also an environment“
“I hope Mr. Roux had a good time. And I’m taking advantage of your microphone to tell him: the next one, I’ll give it to him!”Christophe Chalvidal, director of the Hotel Imperator, on France Bleu Gard Lozère
Go, without rancor, any, for Jean6Charles Roux: “May everyone have a great party. Whether everyone goes to the Imperator or elsewhere to drink their Ricard or their Champagne, it doesn’t matter. But long live the party !”
Jean-Charles Roux nevertheless offers a “against aperitif” this Monday noon, in front of the Imperator. “According to the declarations of the house. Al (coup de) Bar all lovers of the product are invited to a wild (and free) aperitif on Monday at 12.00 in front of the imperator.. We don’t mess with Ricard“. Chick?
