After being closed for 9 months, the restaurant and bar in Barrou reopened for business on Monday the 2nd January. Here in France, villages without such commercial ventures lose much of their identity, so this was an important event. Selfishly. it is also good for us as our guests at 'Le Bourg' can stroll across to have a meal or to sit on the terrace for a drink.
It was lovely to see the ladies of the village back having their Friday rendezvous .
It was also good to hear that the first week had been a successful one !
I'm glad the restaurant is open again. We will definitely try it next time we are chez nous.
ReplyDeleteThe decor seems to have changed - it was more cluttered before I think.
I hope the new owners are successful - I believe in supporting local business, otherwise they disappear, often for good and with, as you say, consequences for the character of the village.
Nice to know it has re-opened. We never tried the 'old' one but will give this a go.
ReplyDeleteHandy for lunch if you are nearby and great value.
