We welcome you in period costumes in a wood pegs, mortice and tenon joints building built according to the construction techniques of the 17th century.
Enjoy the Paillasson, a cheese roasted on a pan and that you can taste hot as an entrée, main course or dessert. Other local products are also sold here.
