Café de la Poste, Saint-Savin
Surprise find one Sunday morning in 2006.....No idea if it’s still there now
After the visit of the chapel of Piétat, located just a few hundred metres from the village and after having admired the magnificent abbey of Saint-Savin, don't forget to pause on the square, in one of the oldest cafes in France (built in 1441), where some scenes of the film Bernadette were filmed. Take advantage of it to buy some regional products since the facility also serves as a grocery store: jurancon, candied, foie gras, croustades and honey of the country. The café is open all day and serves sandwiches and other snacks.
Cafe du Commerce, Lyon-la-Foret. In my opinion this is the archetypal French cafe/restaurant. Basic but delicious food, very reasonably priced, lika a staff canteen for the whole village (except in height of Summer when th ecoach parties take over) and nice little square to look at.

Not so much a Bar in France as a French bar in our tent. Bought tent for about 10-Euro's from Lidl, used bungees as guy ropes (one secured to 1150R). Tent was so small we had to reverse ourselves into it. Woke in the wee small hours as condensation was running down inside of tent, unzipped door and slept with it open after that. Lobbed tent into Poubelle as we departed site the following morning.
Great memories, happy days indeed
‘We’ ??
How many were you in that tent ?

Good news. It was when the 2020 edition of the Petit Futé guide was published.
