“It’s raining flames right now,” according to Jean-Charles Carreretavern manager To give it to me. This is why he recently installed four foggers on the terrace of his tavern.
With nearly 40°C reached in the pink city, difficult to take advantage of the setting of the guinguette located at Raymond VI garden in the saint cyprien district. Even if on the banks of the Garonne, under the trees, the temperature is more bearable, Toulouse residents and tourists are not there during the day on the terrace of the guinguette. But with the presence of the Toulouse festival, in the evening, the guinguette is much more necessary. “The festival and its programming brought us a different clientele that we didn’t have before,” rejoices Jean-Charles.
A real investment
” With the foggers It’s better, before we really had no one… Since then, the temperature has dropped by 10°C”, says the establishment’s rigging. Used for less than a week, these facilities are a ” real investment for the manager. For four foggers, he spent no less than 6,000 euros. But thanks to this, the 140m terrace2 is now cool.
The perennial guinguette
The good news for the guinguette to give it to me, is that she settles permanently in the Raymond VI garden next to the Abattoirs museum. The work will take place from July 27 to 29, during which time the guinguette will be closed. A custom built structure by Novakiosk from 50m2 will therefore be implemented.
“I want to retire here, it’s a popular district, everyone is nice, we feel good there and we have the best view of Toulouse. »
Thus, the people of Toulouse could come and eat all year at the Guinguette.
Local products
Jean-Charles Carrère mainly supplies in the neighborhood, at Maison Serres or at Panivore for bread and at the Saint-Cyprien market for meat and fruit and vegetables. “We try as much as possible to make people work here,” he continues. “Toulouse is my village, I love Toulouse! “, concludes the restaurateur.
