Before taking over this café-tobacco shop, Stéphane had done many other jobs. When he moved to Quimper, he wanted to bring the last of the Moulin Vert cafés back to life. From the first hour, many people come to have a coffee. It is a whole life of district preserved. But this Bistrot is also a large games room, with darts, billiards and table soccer. It is a good place to rest after a walk along the Steir, or to have a snack with the family. The owner also proposes the retransmission of the matches, on a giant screen.
