"La patronne est charmante. Un moment au calme avant la fermeture hivernale de la barge. Si vous êtes pressés passez votre chemin et laissez nous profiter d’un cadre très chaleureux et d’une expérience culinaire très plaisante. C’est parfait pour un moment en tête à tête ou entre amis. Très connu des locaux vous serez bien reçu attention il n’y en aura pas pour tout le monde les places sont limités pensez à réserver en saison. N’oubliez pas de visiter les toilettes… avec sa vie sur la Loire Encore merci"
