Librairie A la bonne Occasion - bookshop

This book store is located right in front of L’Auberge Aux deux Lions Inn so there is no excuse not to go have a peek. You will be greeted by the colourful and endearing owner Denys Néron, a book passionate if I have ever meet one. He will, if you let him, convey to you his infatuation for literature and books in general. He is one of the last real librarians. His store is open every day except Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. This is a real discovery.

Chez Victor Restaurant (St-Jean Street)

At Chez Victor, you will find a surprising variety of burgers. For many people this is the greatest place for burgers in the world! This is a million miles from well-known fast food chains, the meat is 100% organic and of superior quality and the trimmings reveal definite culinary creativity. Every single day there is a special burger and if you’re looking for something that is out of the ordinary as the tofu burger. You will probably enjoy the Belgian fries served with a multitude of homemade mayonnaises. I recommend the pesto mayo. A real delight!

There is only one thing about this restaurant: you probably won’t have room left for dessert.
