GASTRONOMY<br />
Poolside<br />
the secret garden of the InterContinental<br />
Enchanting and refined surroundings to<br />
celebrate summer evenings, a place desi-<br />
gned for a relaxing, chic and friendly<br />
moment… Around the swimming pool of<br />
the InterContinental, the poolside is a haven<br />
of peace where the expression carpe diem<br />
becomes completely clear. Besides, the hotel<br />
is currently opening some new suites that<br />
promise many pleasant surprises.<br />
Entering the poolside is like discovering an<br />
oasis: a universe bathed in sunlight, cooled<br />
down by the immense turquoise pool and<br />
luxurious vegetation. So far from the frenzy<br />
of town yet so close.<br />
Thibaut Drège, new director of catering, has<br />
this year decided with his team to emphasize<br />
well being and fitness. This is why the poolside<br />
restaurant offers at lunchtime and dinner<br />
a Mediterranean menu that is composed of<br />
light or grilled dishes, salads or pasta – a good<br />
selection of healthy meals.<br />
A selection of exclusive smoothies combining<br />
sweetness and nutritional value are also on<br />
offer: for example the Detox rich in antioxidants<br />
(beetroot, cranberry, raspberry), the Fat<br />
Burning (pineapple, ginger, lemon, cinnamon)<br />
or else the Suncare (melon, carrot, orange). The<br />
ultimate innocent little pleasure is no doubt<br />
awarded to the Non-coupable, a desert to<br />
please every sweet tooth but very low in calories.<br />
Very surprising!
