Ideally located, at the start of many hiking trails, at the edge of the forest of Grimbosq at only 20 min from downtown Caen and one hour by bike by the greenway, you can make a well-deserved stop in the shade of the hundred-year-old MARRONIER, to rest, quench your thirst and of course enjoy the delicious dishes proposed by the Chef Charly Gagneux.

"This old inn has radiated over the region well before the Second World War and several generations have frequented its guinguette under the big chestnut tree". ref Amayé sur Orne - Au fil de l'eau -
