A LITTLE LOCAL CONTEXT

Follow your nose. Stay for supper.

The best way into Grand Case is through a meal, but leave time on either side of it. Take in the bay before settling on where to eat. The village is known for both local lolos and refined restaurants, so choose the experience that suits your mood instead of treating one as more authentic than the other. Consider a beach afternoon followed by dinner; confirm reservations and transport for the evening directly.
