Tips from the Community
Magical town with a fairytale castle. (however, I recommend you swerve the Logis Hotel-Restaurant du Chateau). Or if you can find no other accommodation, at least avoid eating in the restaurant, which was one of the few outright poor places to eat I've found in France.

A wide variety of goods were available from a food truck. Unfortunately, the coffee, which had been kept warm, wasn't very good. But the homemade cakes were delicious.
