Mamie Bigoude

Mamie Bigoude is one of a small chain of quirkily decorated restaurants in the Touraine Loire Valley. We ate at the Chambray les Tours branch with friends for my birthday this year and we have been there several times before.

The treasure hunt led the kids with their staff attendant to the washing machine.

Tourists often ask on travel forums for recommendations of child friendly restaurants in France. Well, Mamie Bigoude not only has a kiddie menu, but it has a kids' play area, with an attendant. While we were there it was the weekend before Christmas so the attendant had plenty of kids to entertain and she was doing a treasure hunt.

The service is friendly and the food good value for money.

I need to9 go there just for the photo opportunities.... the fact you say the food is good is a bonus!
Yesterday's odd door.... you don't think that there might have been a borrow-light above the small door for the corridor beyond? Presuming that the main chateau was built afor 'lectricity??

Le Pré de la Forge: The corridor is part of the 19C addition, but I think the music room is part of the original 16C bit. So I don't know.

Ahh... but when in the C19 was the corridor added.... borrow light still needed until the late 1800s
