"We found near Lapalisse around noon, we decided to have lunch before we embark on the 'A89' (as much as it is shorter to cross the small town than to take the rocade). I'm a vegetarian. After a bitter disillusionment in a gargotte pretending to suit vegetarians and vegans ... but offering me only fish dishes and then grimace soup in front of my surprise, here we are at Babette. The manor, charming, makes me smile a omelette and a green salad with dried tomatoes and nut oil to accompany his risotto, while my companion (not vegan) finds his happiness in the menu of the day. We have lunch in a very friendly atmosphere, with the only two other guests (we are in the middle of the week and it is a little early). These inhabitants of Lapalisse tell us of the contradictory effects of the rocade, which has rid the city center of the 'infernal parade of trucks but also has considerably reduced the passengers of passage, as in many other towns, despite the presence of the castle of M. de la Palice. At the coffee shop, Babette makes us taste biscuits and caramels house that she sells in the adjoining shop and promises vegetarian matfins during a later passage. If the time allows, set the motorway lunches. Because why eat less in a canteen atmosphere and with a more salty addition?"
