Unfortunately only open on weekends from 12pm to 8pm. There was a concert yesterday evening. But it was very nice that today, Saturday, my coffee was served before 12pm.

A beautiful old village with a very quiet campsite and lots of nature all around. To discover for yourself. Very nice to cycle along the little river L'Aujon, in the national park - core zone only on foot.
