Funny kind of places where I send
you to ;-) Of course I didn’t find that alone but was helped by a French
guidebook that insisted a lot to visit this place. I found like they mentioned a
place that looked unchanged since the 30’s with inexpensive prices received by
a super friendly staff and all this is only an air-conditioned and relaxing
creperie-restaurant! Pleasant
musical ambience adds a lot to the charm. Plat du jour or fresh pasta about 8.50
€, for lunch,
9.50 €
to 13.75 €
a la carte.

y en a pour tout le monde!”Supreme” (noix
de Saint-Jacques, fondue de poireaux. But I’m sure you will not resist to the “Supreme” (noix

€.
