And the secret was not kept for long. Since the opening, this guinguette which wanted to be discreet fills up almost every lunchtime. “We knew it would be a challenge, but we didn’t expect that, especially since I kept my catering activity on the weekends, so our days are very busy,” laughs Antoine Gonzalez. The couple intends to keep the establishment open until the end of the good weather.
