Au Petit Relais
On the way into the village on the border between Bresse and Jura, don’t miss this eatery that has been lovingly cared for by Mr and Mrs Debourg for some thirty years. Their cosy, traditional lair is ideal to sample Vincent’s heartwarming, deftly crafted score in which top-drawer ingredients (scallops, blue lobster, turbot and farm-reared veal) cosy up to Bresse specialities (snails, chickens). The wine list boasts over 800 references, many of which are from Jura. The quintessence of rural France!
