Eco-Table: Le Trinquet des Boussardes

Highlight • Restaurant

A great pleasure to taste all the local products in such a setting. A warm welcome as a bonus. And for more than reasonable prices. The best "restaurant" experience of our stay, by far.

Depart from Chantemerle to go to Casset and back.
On this hot late afternoon in May, I enjoyed
the calm and tranquility of people spending time in their garden…
The valley is quite concrete but it is easy to find real nature routes,… great!!
The Briançonnais is a real paradise for mountain biking 🚵‍♀️ .
