We had our first meal out since the Covid19 lockdown was imposed at le Lion D’Or just down the road from us at la Ménantelière in St Hilaire de Voust. Our meal was great value and of the usual high quality and enlivened as always by Patricia and her staff.
We recommend their Moules Frites when it is available.
You can see about them on their Facebook page, Bon Appetite!
Sud Vendée tourism are extolling the attractions of the forest of Mervent in their latest Faceboook post. We wholeheartedly agree with them, it is a wonderful place to wander.
Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel has listed Poitou-Charentes as one of the Top Ten Regions of the world to visit:
“What makes Poitou-Charentes so different from the rest of France is that it encapsulates the best of France in one small, easily digestible region. Put simply, Poitou-Charentes combines all the best clichés of the French countryside – the sleepy rural villages, the endless fields of sunflowers and the delicious food and drink – and this alone makes it different from every other region in the country.”
“Much more laid back than the Med (but with almost as much sunshine) and ideally suited to family holidays, this is a place where you can slow the pace right down, settle in and indulge in the finer things life has to offer.”
