Al Rawète, the tavern of the museums


Gastronomic tavern

A cooking made in the traditional way with recipes since the 5th to the 19th century  !

tav-feu-boistav-terrasse

To be discovered in rooms decorated with antiques of gastronomy, in front of an open fire, or under the parasols of a green terrace.
For the benefit of the npo La Rawète.

The tavern of the museums, animated by volunteers of our association, is open all the year, on Saturday from 14 to 19:00 and Sunday from 11 to 19:00.  Attention please : Last orders for cooking at 18:35.  That allows our volunteers to pass their evening at home.  In weekdays, reconstitutions of old recipes can be proposed to the groups like museum's animations.
