Locals may sit at a cafe table for hours. That’s why french waiters aren’t likely to rush with a bill as soon as you’ve finished your meal. In fact, you should ask for it directly, especially if you are in a hurry. Saying ‘L’addition s’il vous plait’ will do the trick.

If you don’t see vegetarian options on the menu — ask for them. Calling the restaurant beforehand and requesting such meals is also a good idea. You can try mixing and matching from a menu. Besides, there are farm shops and food markets, where you can find something fresh to your liking. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

The history of this place reaches back to the 5th century A.D. when the Roman temple was built here. However, the present-day building was erected much later, in the 18th century. Make sure to come inside. The jewel of its richly decorated interior is the Black Madonna, 1806 painted wooden bust, dressed up to look like a statue. As the name suggests, the face of the Blessed Mother is black, which is quite rare.
