A café since around 1870, kept by Claude and Hendrika since 1983: Claude behind the zinc, Hendrika cooking every dish on the daily slate herself. Paris ZigZag calls it a real bistro-tabac that came through both wars untouched, with tables, tiles and cast-iron stove from the 1930s and regulars who come to read the paper.
