Typical French village bar/café. Lovely to sit in the square outside with the locals to drink a small beer, wine or pastis. They're happy for you to eat food from other places while you do.

Une super ambiance, Des supers plats, glace, gâteau, ... Beaucoup beaucoup de bio et de local , De mon point de vue je trouve que consommer bio est primordial pour l'environnement donc je recommande vivement ce café. Ne vous inquiétez pas les prix sont très attractifs. Des fois le bio est cher, c'est vrai , mais là j'étais surpris !
