BISTROT COCAGNE

A canteen with simple, inspired cuisine at lunchtime, a meeting place all day and a lively bar in the evening, this bistro with its refined bohemian soul lives up to its name of "terre d'abondance" (land of plenty). You'll feel as if you're in a small southern village square. The terrace and welcome are convivial, and when night falls, the building lights up in pretty colors of green, red and yellow... which can produce a curious effect on passers-by who are a little tipsy (but not only!), as if the place were coming out of a dream. Don't miss the first floor, a jewel box of beauty, a cross between an antique dealer's salon, a cosy mountain retreat and the lair of a ^19th-century botanist.
