IDLERS CORNER

"Le coin des paresseux" sets the tone right from the start. Here, it's good to rest, relax, unwind, bask... in short, to pass the time with a drink. The beautifully laid-out terrace on the edge of Malacca is just the place. Low tables surrounded by rattan seats are set at the foot of the blind gable of a house. Green plants and potted flowers fill the space. A choice of bottled beers, cider, sodas and fruit juices to accompany snacks. There's also a clothing boutique.
