Food scene
Some of my favorite eating spots in the area. Give them a try :) The dog-friendly places are very dog friendly based on my personal experience but they can be different due to season or regulation changes. Call to make sure your furry ones are welcomed 🐶
Delicious little french bistro in town. Homemade baguette and butter, you can't beat that. Duck is a must-try!
