Evening under the sign of fashion

La Terrasse du Gray is on the first floor of the Hotel Gray d’Albion. Through its refined furniture harmonies of soft colors, oscillating between green almond and beige, the students evolved majestically along a sinuous course, between table and guests. In the warm, subdued light of the stunning Art Deco wrought iron chandelier, the fashion models and fins gourmets have literally plunged the gastronomic space into a friendly atmosphere and guests have had a sense of well-being, conducive to fashion and relaxation. The background of lounge music and delicious gastronomy brought the final note to this fashion-filled evening.

Fashion and gastronomic pleasures

To celebrate Sales and the City, Fabrice Gautier, chef of La Terrasse du Gray, has masterfully practiced his art to the delight of our gourmet taste buds. At the image of the venue, the sublimated products, carefully selected from the best producers in the region, have highlighted the authentic and fragrant flavors of the Provençal terroir. As an appetizer, a fragrant and very original Velouté of Carrot with Curry, Fennel, Cream with Chive gave us a delicious taste of what we were going to enjoy throughout the evening. The fresh and delicate Scallop Carpaccios, Cauliflower Purée flavored with Truffle, Carrot Emulsion bathed us immediately and with freshness in the land and sea wedding rings. The pan-fried Foie Gras, toasted Bread combined with the surprising and slightly acidic flavors of Mango and Pineapple Chutney exalted our senses.

Flavors sea and earth on a background of exoticism

The roasted Pigeon Breast, on a declination of Red Cabbage with Dates, Pastilla of Legs and full bodied Jus was a happy discovery for our delicate palate. The Cod, this sea fish with fine white flesh, accompanied by the deep flavors from the earth like the sliced marinated Aubergine, Chickpea, Herb Juice was one of the best scores conducted by the chef Fabrice Gautier.
To end this gourmet parenthesis, the flavors from here and elsewhere like the Guanaja Warmchocolate or the selection of Pastries from the Hotel Majestic like the sublime Mille-feuilles, the crispy Vanilla Apple Tartlet made us travel in the world of childhood without moving from our chair. To complete this king’s feast, a homemade bread accompanied by its Fig and Hazelnut Butter and the delicious red wine Côte de Provence Domaine des Aspras, Les Trois Frères – 2016.

About the Lycée Professionnel des Coteaux

The professional Lycée des Coteaux, labeled high school for professional trades of fashion and costumes is located in an old building that is actually a resplendent style “grand siècle” manor. A light bridge connects it to a modern building, of a radiant white under the sun of the Côte d’Azur. The garden, embellished with works of art, makes you want to explore this temple dedicated to fashion where works of art are omnipresent inside as in the corners and nooks and even suspended from the ceiling, giving the feeling that art is king in here.

Enter by vocation, leave full of ambition

The professional high Lycée des Coteaux is organising specialized trainings in the field of sewing, the creation of personalized clothing, the techniques of clothing and stage costume. The training at school is completed by a training in business at couturiers, fashion designers or during live shows. The degrees offered range from the certificate of vocational studies to the prestigious diploma of costume crafts, but also to the fashion industry of tomorrow.
The fashion and luxury industries, which are very demanding, require a high level of knowledge and artistic know-how. Students also face the demands of a professional world that transcends national boundaries. The tradition of excellence must include the mobility of teachers and students: everyone understands and learns what the other person is doing through exchanges with others, regularly organized international schools.

Fashion creates job

This school of excellence has the merit of providing employment opportunities to students. The skills acquired through the knowledge taught at Lycée des Coteaux are now recognized as a reference in fashion. The future of some 250 students studying in Cannes seems on track. But the other courses are also the heyday of this place full of talent, such as the diploma of performing arts technician and diploma in crafts that provide 100% exam success and 100% opportunities. In other words, the 15 students in each section find a job after graduation. This is particularly true for crafts, as the Lycée des Coteaux is one of the five institutions in France to offer this training.
