It has to be said that the owner is extremely welcoming and does everything to make you feel at home. On the plate, the menu changes from day to day, depending on the harvest, the market and the chef's inspiration. A little corner of France in the heart of the village. We love it!

Welcome to Bar Peri, a veritable institution since it opened in the 1940s!
