"We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters"
About this Quote
The subtext is pure Moore. Even when he’s not playing Bond, he’s adjacent to Bond-world values: taste, ease, continental polish, the sense that life is a sequence of well-appointed stops. “Excellent oysters” is doing a lot of cultural work. Oysters signal refinement and indulgence, but also a certain nonchalance about expense, time, and proximity to the sea. He doesn’t describe the restaurant’s decor or service; he goes straight to the edible status marker. Taste becomes identity.
Context matters: this is the kind of sentence that shows up in interviews, memoirs, or talk-show banter, where celebrities soften their distance from the audience by offering “real” recommendations. It’s intimacy-by-address: you, too, could go to Charlot Premier, in theory. In practice, it’s a postcard from a life where “Nice” isn’t an adjective, it’s a weekend plan. The intent isn’t to instruct; it’s to charm, letting cosmopolitan glamour slip in under the radar of small talk.
