Marc Mitonne

Why go there?

For Marc Mitonne's magic setting made of vaulted caves from the XVIIth century, exposed stones, beams and a well listed as a Historical Monument. Ask the boss Marc Mitonne, he will be happy to tell you about the story of these former jails and to evok with you Moliere, Louis XIV and the Arbre Sec's gallows.

For Marc Mitonne's cuisine inspired from his grand-mother Mamie Marcelle and his aunt Tata Jacquotte. When he was five years old, Marc already dreamt of becoming a cook.

For the festive events set up at Marc Mitonne : magic shows on saturday nights, mind-reading on fridays, karaokes and humorous shows...
