"Am I a megalomaniac? Yes, without a moment's hesitation!" The director of Mougins's tourist office is indeed everywhere and makes sure everyone knows it. An old hand at public relations, Dominique Fantino uses (abuses?) selfies to constantly publicise everything he does on social media, from a press conference to a meal at a great chef's table. And it works! Provocative? To an extent certainly, but behind the showman lies the passion of a loyal promoter of our region who for over 30 years has devoted his energies to furthering the Côte d’Azur's reputation, as director of the tourist offices in Isola 2000 and Auron first, then of Mougins's since 2009. After launching his lobster pan bagnat, he's back in the limelight again with an original internet programme titled Un chef à la mer (A chef at sea). "My aim? To bring my two passions, sailing and food, together and again put Mougins (and the Côte d’Azur) in the spotlight." Every week Dominique invites two or three local foodie figures aboard Asiade, his 12m boat tied up in the little Figueirette harbour. They chat about their news while each prepares a dish, then it's anchors away for a convivial tasting out in the bay!
