Hotel de France restaurant

My wife and I were taken for lunch by two friends. We booked in advance and my wife, whose French is excellent, told them when making the booking that one of the four of us was a vegetarian.

First time to south of France, recommended restaurant by TripAdvisor. It was absolutely gawgus little family run restaurant the quality, flavour and such a delightful lady running it, not to mention her delightful little girl too, our French is extremely minimal but they spoke little English with humour too, so between us we had a very special time, will be revisiting here before our return home.
