Literally 1 minute away from our front door the Restaurant du Barrage sits right on the river and in the summer months opens a veranda with super river views.
It's open every day for lunch and evenings except during the winter.
On the first Friday in every month the barrage hosts a special event inspired by some of the British residing in the area: Fish and Chip Night! We quality tested the event and have to report the standard is excellent.
