Many were closed but we found this charming and quaint place, where in very short order we were served a parmentier of duck and a leg of rabbit respectively. Both were extremely tasty and wholesome. The wine (Cahors) was good and the proprietor genial. A nice surprise all round.

We ate outside for lunch and had such a good time I made a special detour to take my wife and friends. The outside was not open but the inside is charming. The food was excellent with dishes that were a little different. We were recommended a good wine and one of our party had a chocolate dessert which he said was absolutely to die for. Very rich though. I would love to go in the evening it is a lovely restaurant.
