ANY DRIVER currently making trips to or through the Bordeaux region should ensure that his route takes him through Place, on the RN 138 between Alencon and Le Mans, to the restaurant Les Deux Renards.
Just one of the many is this special recommendation, which has come from Philip Clark, a CFDC member from Barking, Essex, with seven years' experience of driving throughout Europe.
He described a recent meal at this Relais Routiers as follows: "We started our fivecourse meal with a homemade stockpot soup, hot and
full of flavour. This was followed by a rough pate, or terrine. An underdone steak in the proper French style was next, followed by a gorgeous, platter of cheese and a choice of dessert.
Then came the best part — the bill. Including unlimited local wine and bread, the inclusive price was 36 Francs, which even at the current depressed exchange rate, is only £3.50. British catering establishments, kindly take note!"
Incidentally, the restaurant closes on Saturday afternoon, Sundays in winter and at the beginning of September.
