Quality food on the main square of a small local village. This restaurant is the hub of life in the village and good value for money. Live music some evenings in the summer.

So much to do and see from the Flamingos on the lagoons, to the eagles in the hills, with great coastal and inland walking and hiking trails. (Disregard spot as marked on the map - the park covers the entire area between Narbonne and Fitou!)
