Dear guests,

We would like to inform you that our restaurant and our garden, classified as a Remarkable Garden, are two independent entities. Access to the garden is subject to an entrance fee. However, our restaurant guests benefit from a 35% discount on this fee.

Thank you for your understanding and loyal support

Yours sincerely,
