We use the bar every time we stay in Carentan, we don't speak much french and they do not speak english so it's great fun, we also kidnapped the lady owner in my friends Chevy one year and she was screaming out the window, kidnapping hope they will be there next June

Nice modern bar close to the centre of Carentan and the railway station. Friendly service, good range of draft beers and spirits.

We visit each year during the DDay commemorations. It's vibrant and unpretentious... And this year I got given free drinks and the rest of the bottle! What's not to love? Merci ????????
