Open in July and August, every morning it offers bread baked on site, Viennese pastries and a full breakfast to get the day off to a good start. For lunch, there’s a snack bar with poulet-frites, sausages, paninis, nuggets… enough to fill you up before a kayak trip or a hike! In the evening, the atmosphere changes and the crêperie takes over, with homemade galettes and crêpes prepared with local produce.

Themed evenings are organized in high season, a great opportunity to share a convivial moment with camping neighbors!
