Do They Eat in France?
In the center of St Valery we parked in a big parking lot surrounded on three sides by storefronts. All the bright lights led us to believe the area was hopping and full of bars and restaurants. We got out of the car and started to walk and walk and walk. Just like back in Rouen. A couple of butcher shops and bakeries, two restaurants closed for the season, a few real estate offices, a pharmacy and not much else. Back in the corner we located a brightly lit Brasserie (bar) and headed inside. We immediately ordered drinks (beer for Gail and I), then asked for menus. It seems this place only deals in booze and dessert. The Grimbergen Blonde was awesome.
