We're coming over next weekend and always on the look out for good/ fun places to eat.  We appreciate good food but not necessarily after the fully gourmet experience every time! Our house is in Tirepied so anywhere within 45 minutes or so.   thanks   Keith     Report

Again the Auberge at the Abbey at Hambye then I am informed that Les Gourmets at Percy and which has opened under new proprietors is now up and coming but I have not been there! This information is based upon knowledge gained when we lived in Normandie that being until the 7th of December last year.  Now in the Vendee.    Report

The web site's a bit out of date, and it's seriously expensive, but well worth it. And of course, it's not too far from Moulin de Jean - Novelli's place that he sold to his star trainee chef, who's still there. The food is top quality and amazing value, though the drinks can be expensive. http://www.lemoulindejean.com/ Will intentionally blank signature http://www.vienormande.com    Report
