Le Brasserie Clemenceau


'Le Clemenceau' is, without doubt, one of the most convivial cafe-bar-brasseries in Roanne, Roannais.

As in all of the larger French towns, and Roanne is no exception, they have their fair share of bars and bistros - favourite places to meet up with friends for morning coffee, or relax with an ice-cold beer on a sultry summer's afternoon.

One such place that Purefrancenow has discovered, and that we frequent more than any other is 'Le Brasserie Clemenceau.

Set in a prime position right in the heart of the Place Georges Clemenceau.

Hotel des Lys,Roannais

An excellent hotel has been discovered by Purefrancenow in the village of Le Coteau, near Roanne in the Roannais region of the Rh�ne-Alpes.

The Hotel des Lys is a superbly run, 3 -star quality (Logis de France) establishment, newly refurbished to ensure a very comfortable and welcoming stay for their guests.

The proprietors, Jean-Philippe and Ang�lique Lafarge, have stylishly refurbished this regionally well-known hotel.

Hotel des Lys is beautifully situated facing a small tree-lined park, and within walking distance of local shops, amenities, entertainment, and commercial zones. Roanne canal port, and the famous river la Loire are also close by.

Art and Flavours in the Roannais!

The combination of Art gallery and Restaurant is not necessarily a brand new idea, but in the attractive township of Roanne in the Roannais, Rh�ne-Alpes, there is a particularly dynamic restaurant which has succeeded in achieving an excellent balance between exceptional art and high quality cuisine.

This restaurant, aptly-named, 'Art et Saveurs' reflects the love of art and eating, and is achieved with dedication, impact, and panache. As soon as you enter this establishment through their large glass doors you are immediately 'hit' by a contemporary ambience. A clever combination of moody modernism and exoticism.

Martine and Daniel Dechavanne accommodate you in a beautiful setting which is spacious and artistically themed throughout.

The restaurant is an eclectic "gallery" of art, sculpture, and artefacts of both professional and amateur artists from around the region. The Roannais is renowned for its richness of creativity in all areas.
