"It is certainly more pleasant to have a place rather than a parking lot... On the other hand, I don't find it very attractive and it hasn't yet encouraged me to stop there for a long time. I hope that the new brasserie will bring a little more life."
Jean Claude Girard
"Beautiful showcase in honor of Bascoulard, the local artist to discover."
