We had stayed in the "Hôtel de Bordeaux" already a couple of times and actually just cannot travel within the Saintonge without a stop. The restaurant run by Cornelia Mueller is one of the best in the region. It was closed for renovation for about 8 months - but was reopened just a few days, before we arrived.

During three warm long summer nights, the festival "La Fête du Cognac" perfectly combines local food, lovely wines, cognacs (!) and interesting music. Thanks to about 450 volunteers this is a great place to have a good time together with many locals. The last two years I "steak frites" here. As "real" knives are not allowed for security reasons, I had to cut the meat with a small piece of plywood, that had the form of a knife. I had no success. In 2018 came the solution! The hungry people queue for a "brochette" ("meat skewer"), so there is no knife necessery.
