A wonderful place for a break. It's a Jacquaire restaurant. Thierry is passionate about his work. There are snacks and drinks available. The homemade herbal syrup was delicious.

June 9, 2023,🇫🇷 54 Via Podiensis, St. Privat d'Allier - Saugues

A beautiful stage with fantastic views of the Allier valley.

Very convivial evening in the cozy Gite Itier-Martins with Jesús Vidal, a hospitalero with heart and soul, who conjured up a delicious Bœuf Bourguinon for us 😍
