colindale Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 While in France, we often come accross some wonderful restaurants throughout France, which are cheap, and very good!Sometimes we do not get a choice of food, and it always includes wine in the price. They tend to be full of Frence workers, the car parks are full of vans/lorries!I dont know if there is a way to refere to theses restaurants, but does anyone know if there is a book or website listing them?

Russethouse Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Type www.google.com or www.google.co.uk into the address bar at the top of the screen (or use these links) and type in Les Routiers and the region you want.......There is a book that lists them too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Routiers-Guide-France-Guides/dp/0852239742There is UK web site - further searching may reveal a French one http://www.routiers.co.uk/home.aspxEdit: Christine has found it !

Higgy Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 In our little village of Salon la Tour we can have a 5 course lunch with table wine for 11 euro and it is very good. We are staying at the Municipal Campsite in Archiac for 1 week in the Summer does anyone know of good food to be had in this area ? We are having a look around for a suitable property in this region as the one we already have is too small for a full time move. Thanks Higgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Higgy - if you go to the link Christine Animal posted and click on the link, there is a drop down box where you can see Restaurants by region - that would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Many French restaurants do very good all inclusive lunch menus prices between 10 and 13 Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgy Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks I will have a look at that site, I was hoping someone local could point us in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Higgy are you talking about Archiac 17520? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yes the Archiac in the Charente Maritime.Thanks for any help received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 You could try the following, might be too far to travel but you never know. "Des Trois Moulins" (Routiers restaurant) on the RN between Pons and Saintes (nr. St Leger), limited choice but food is usually good, a great atmosphere. (open lunch time and evening, closed Sat p.m. and all day Sunday)Cafe de la Paix at Jazennes.............Monday to Saturday lunchtime only, very good value.In Gemozac: try the Caravelle near the stadeLa Roze on the Gemozac to Pons road. Slightly more up-market, pleasant service and set lunches are great value. Open in the evenings too.Enjoy [:)][:)][:)]Edit:I've just thought of another one in Pons (lunchtimes only I think and not Sunday) opposite the St Vivien church.

Blanche Neige Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks Claire and Gay.Higgy,Sorry there were problems, I hope you have now read my suggestions and that they will be of use. I am sure there must be some reasonable eating places in Jonzac too. Do let us know how you get on.[:)] Happy camping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter@pons Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Try Les Deux Charentes on the road from Archiac to Barbezieux - very popular with the locals and truck drivers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
