Born in Cambrai in 1872, Louis Blériot made history by becoming the first aviator to fly across the English Channel on July 25, 1909. A talented engineer, he invented the "joystick," which is still used in aviation today. His boldness and innovative spirit have made him a key figure in aeronautical history.
Inspired by his feat, La Bêtise is a cocktail that plays on balance and innovation. Created by Vincent Mevrel, Head Bartender at the Club Bar in Dijon (@leclub.bar),it skillfully blends floral, fruity, and tangy notes, evoking the softness of the air and the sense of freedom Blériot must have felt while soaring over the Channel.
