Restaurant "Le Sévero"

Wine seller "Les Caves Augé"
http://www.cavesauge.com/
Terrific wines, including some fabulous "Vins de table" and "zéro dosage" Champagne (the nec plus ultra brut) or its excellent own "Augé" champagne. You may have the chance to arrive on a day of wine testing (reason for which the trees outside have red roots and trunk…)
Note: Be careful, most of those fabulous “vins de table” are not stabilized, thus either drink them in Paris or ask for transport, precautions you have to take.
Restaurant "La closerie des lilas"

As described by the main user: romantic and intellectual. A restaurant with a "terrasse" and inside tables.
