Brasserie Le Jaures, Tonneins

You'll reach the first town of Villeton at PK 148.4, 1.8 km after the first lock. There's a quay for 20 boats but not much in town.

We hopped on our bikes and rode 3.5 km to the town of Tonneins. There are bike paths so avoid the main road. From the quay, turn left on the main road. At the 2nd small road, turn right and you will run into a smaller road that is perfect for biking.


In Tonneins, we had lunch at Brasserie Le Jaures. It's located at Place Jean Jaures.


We had a nice bottle of Corolle rose for €13.


I hadn't seen Perrier fines bulles (little bubbles) before. This little bottle was €4.


The restaurant offered a 3-course lunch for €15.10, 2 course for €12.50 or a main for just €8.50. You could choose any of the specials of the day. This entree (1st course) was Salade au Chèvre Chaud--Salad with Warm Goat Cheese.


This was another option for the entree--Cassolette d'Escargots Au Roquefort. This was a soup with escargots and Roquefort cheese.


Another entree option was Carpaccio de Boeuf for a €2 supplement.


One of the options for a main course was Bavette a la Plancha. I'm usually not a fan of bavette because it's usually tough but this was actually really tender and good.


Another main option was Salade aux Gesiers Confits. I love gizzard salad, especially after the great Salade Landaise at Le Socrate in Rouen. This one was loaded with gizzard and it was so good!


One of the options for dessert was Tarte au Citron--Lemon tart.
