L'Auberge du Braconnier sur Notre-Dame-Du-Pe

A wonderful discovery. A magnificent setting. Peace and quiet for lunch on the terrace. Accompanied by hats and koi carp, it was a delicious meal prepared by Michel and served by Nelly and Maëva. Attentive service, generosity, and a very full stomach. Thank you for this lovely meal and your warm welcome.

Excellent food, generous portions, very tasty and very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Top-notch team! We took a break from the motorway for lunch and I highly recommend it!

Along the roads to Notre-Dame-du-Pé, in a land rich with rivers, woods, and fertile soil, I, Sir Ludovic de Téléton, traveling with a large delegation of my men, stopped at an inn called the Poacher's Inn. Although we were numerous, we received a warm and honorable welcome, without disturbance or misunderstanding, as is fitting in a well-governed land. I could not conceal my astonishment at the name of the said inn, for everyone knows that, for a lord holding a fief and jurisdiction, poaching is not tolerable, since it violates hunting rights and seigniorial order. However, after careful consideration, I understood the cleverness and wisdom of the place: here, no one poaches the land or the woods, but only the best products are "poached," drawing from the region its meats, herbs, and know-how, without fraud or violence. The host, a man of keen intellect and loyal heart, runs his household with integrity, feeding a large number of people without compromising on quality, a rare and praiseworthy skill. The dishes served testified to the abundance of the region and the respect for local customs, and each of my people was nourished as if they were of noble lineage. Thus we departed satisfied, praising both the region and the house, and I concluded, in my lordly judgment, that while the name may be amusing, the work is honest, upright, and trustworthy, which speaks louder than words.
