A small detour from the cycle path that is worth it. The cafe is opposite the town hall. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, tasty little dishes with a twist.

This place is pure romance. It is best to visit when the weekly market is on. Then all the senses are catered to.

Located at the sources of the Veules, the watercress beds once provided the river's primary product: watercress. The flow, the clear, lively water of the Veules favored this crop. This cruciferous vegetable is appreciated for its spicy flavor and smell similar to mustard. From mid-August to the end of May (watercress is a winter salad rich in vitamins, no watercress production from June to mid-August), Monsieur Mahieu offers the sale of watercress, soup and watercress butter. Find these products on the Luneray market on Sunday mornings, and on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Veules watercress beds (5 p.m. out of season).
