Have been here several times over the years and it's as good as ever. Three hot and sweaty cyclists had a lovely table overlooking the valley, ate the menu de jour (various starters, Guinea fowl and dessert, washed down with beer and rose, for €90. Best lunch we have had in France this holiday.

A real pleasure to eat in this excellent auberge, no frills, no stars, just very good local fare at a price for most pockets. Whether you are biking, hiking or driving in this part of France, reserve a table, you will not be deceived.

We stopped here for lunch on our way through the mountains. The service and food were both excellent. Outdoor dining with a spectacular view. The hostess was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.
