I can only agree with Fred Urrutia... The sea, in all its colours, is fantastic and clean, clear all the way to the bottom.

The various small rooms create a warm atmosphere in the exceptional and authentic setting of this old mill. On fine days, the three terraces, one on the Quai Botrel and two on the river Aven, offer visitors a haven of good times, those peaceful moments that you wish would last forever. The restaurant is first and foremost a crêperie, but also a brasserie, pizzeria and ice cream parlor.
