It is beautiful to sit under the old lime trees. Still very moderate prices, it is best to pre-order at the weekend as it is usually quite full.

The asphalt is superb to ride on and a fantastic experience when you cycle through the tunnels. Perfect for road bikes – but be careful: When you change sides of the bike path, you have to cross the tracks! When it's hot, the tunnels offer a welcome cooling-off point.
