Lovely Tea Room in Charente


Recommended Posts

I had posted this in another forum on this site but thought it was more appropriate to put it in here as it offers a wonderful services to ex pats in the Charente area........it follows:-

Hello, new to this forum, just reading about English cakes and teas in France reminds that whilst visiting friends in the Ruffec area of the Charente we found a lovely little English tea shop and Art gallery called La Galerie Du Tournesol.

It is situated on the road between Mansle and St Claud and they specialise in traditional English food and puddings, full english breakfast and also do clotted cream teas (of which I had the pleasure of partaking in).

They also do a vegetarian option which is quite unheard of in most French restaurants.

Fabulous little place, friendly proprietors, well worth the visit if you are down that way.

I bought a flyer back to England with me, they have a web site... www.lagaleriedutournesol.com

Good luck and keep up the excellent work. Hope to pop in again soon.

I have got to know them too as they are adopting a dog through us, lovely people.  I have seen their site and their galerie looks lovely.  I shall have to get down there soon to get one of those cream teas and one of them painted clocks!

Coco, I have been in France too long, what do you mean by a "flyer" you took back to England?
