Going strong since 1958, this wonderfully convivial ‘country inn’ with red gingham curtains and rustic timber beams offers simple and inexpensive French food, including côte de bœuf (side of beef for two or three people) cooked on an open fire. Arrive early to snag the farmhouse table next to the fireplace – the makings of a real jolly Rabelaisian evening.
