Boulangerie
Au Vieux Four
- The bakery run by Florence makes excellent bread and pastries
in the old traditional oven you'll see at the back of the shop.
Open mornings and evenings, a visit is essential!

Opening Hours: 0700-1300, 1630-2000
(closed Thursdays)
Epicerie/Buvette
-
Veronique's shop sells a bit of almost everything, our general store
is also a 'buvette'. This means that after you've bought your bread,
cheese, milk, vegetables, meat, paté, bottle of pastis and
tin of beans you can sit down to a beer, glass of wine or coffee
on the terrasse or at the table at the back of the shop.!

Coiffure
Evelyn
- If during your stay you feel the sudden need for a haircut then
Evelyn's your woman! Go home with a tan and a bit of French
styling. Although she doesn't speak English, Evelyn's very friendly
and welcoming, and a recent Australian visitor managed to communicate
his needs and lived to tell the tale...
Garage/Tabac
- The little petrol station doubles up as a newsagent and tabacconist.
They sell postcards, plants, little presents and usually have a
few foreign newspapers for sale. I've even spotted the Radio Times
lurking on the top shelf...
The
other bakery
- If Florence is shut or you fancy a change we have a second boulangerie
just around the corner. Currently awaiting a new sign by the looks
of it, this one opens mornings only. As with so many places around
here you'll always get a very warm welcome and a high standard of
baking. This is also the place to come for large cakes to celebrate...
- well, to celebrate whatever you fancy!
St
Méard Auto -
Monsieur Gonzalez runs the local car repair garage just about single-handedly.
He may talk fast and use technical terms, but he does an excellent
job and his rates are about a third of what you'd pay in the UK
for a mechanic. So if you're having car trouble on holiday, pop
round - the garage is just outside the village on the road towards
Villefrance de Longchat - and prepare to wave your hands
around and do a lot of pointing!
Note: Cash or cheques only, no cards accepted
