4 bistros, 4 villages, 4 hikes

Le Bistrot de Pays®, much more than a restaurant!

In the Cévennes d’Ardèche no less than 4 country bistros® make the hearts of the villages beat Malbosc, Payzac, Ribes et planned duty. They are committed to offering local, seasonal and homemade cuisine. Depending on the chef's inspiration, you will sometimes taste an Ardèche cove or a salad garnished with the famous caillettes or a delicious Picodon Protected Designation of Origin!

These Country Bistros are both bar, grocery, a restaurant and weaver of social bonds. Often they are the last trade in these rural villages and are the pride of these inhabitants.

Did you know?

The Bistrot de Pays label® was created in 1993 to support independent bistro owners. These bistros collectively commit to respecting the label's quality charter.

Villages with discreet charm

One of the criteria for becoming a Bistrot de Pays® is to set up in a small village. A godsend because Malbosc, Payzac, Planzolles and Ribes are worth lingering over. Their charm undoubtedly lies in the simplicity and authenticity of the places. Stone villages, surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and chestnut trees, they smell of the south.

Hiking: the link between man and village

What could be better than walking to visit a village? At the bend in an alleyway, you can admire the witness of the past, you can meet an old man who will tell you some anecdotes, admire the view from the highest point... The opportunity also to buy, while walking, some ripe fruits, local charcuterie or goat cheese from local producers. These products that you will find on your plates during a lunch in a Bistrot de Pays®.
