Located in the quiet, 8-room Aubegre Petite Fadette hotel, the restaurant is a nicely lit room off the hotel's small lobby. The tables are dressed with white table clothes, candles, and flowers. You can order a la cart or choose from two fixed price offerings. We were a party of six and we each enjoyed our meals and the service.... More

As I walked past that... More

Our daughter is a great George Sand fan so we made a pilgrimage to Nohant-Viq to visit the Maison George Sand. The nearby auberge has a marvelous restaurant ((Auberge de la Petite Fadette); the adjoining church has wonderful frescoes and the Maison is fascinating. The tour is in French but they give you an English printed guide and it's easy... More
