Hotel Cafe Restaurant Chez Monique

Artisan beer and coffee on the square for 5€! Saw walkers with massive rucksacks going both ways, presumably on the Chemin de Compostelle. Very relaxing break in our journey.

Although we had booked this, the only place in town to stay, the staff had not prepared our bedroom. It is a small hotel run by two women, neither of whom smiled throughout our stay. After the room was made ready we were shown to it. It was ok and there was a decent shower. It was clean. Dinner was absolutely rubbish. I am sure it was left over lunch heated up. Not a smile, not a pleasantry at all. Breakfast was pretty similar. Unfortunately this was the most expensive place we stayed in 3 weeks in France while walking the Camino.

When we entered the restaurant it was clear from the manner of the hostess that our presence was going to be too much work. She was rude and put out that she had to clear a table for us. After a long wait she had still not even reset the table let alone taken the order. By this time we decided to leave the unpleasant atmosphere of the restaurant without even placing an order.

At the bar, before I intend to have lunch, I ask for a beer pressure, the lady behind the counter, takes advantage of a moment of inattention from my part looking out, to take the glass of beer left by a pepper, and to reserve it with a little extra foam. I took my legs to my neck, and stopped in the next little town, nogaro.

A welcome worthy of a prison doormat, for the menu, a bad rapper, avare in liqueur, then pasta-mayonnaise... a steak-seal with beans-green way canteen red wine icy, unbreakable. I've never experienced such an experience. to escape, and quickly!!!
