A true road side attraction, wooden sculptures are arranged in the woods as well as the outdoor area of the bar. It was a remarkable surprise.

Die Skulpturen aus Wurzelholz sind toll! Manchmal gruselig aber immer inspirierend. Auf jeden Fall ein Impuls für die Phantasie. Und ein guter Grund, dort Zeit zu verbringen.

Pas encore ouvert, car début mai, mais le parking est une "œuvre d'art" à lui tout seul

Je n'ai pas déguster de café mais je me suis arrêtée découvrir ce magnifique jardin qui juxte le bar restaurant avec ses dizaines de sculptures en bois flotté. C'est extraordinaire. Les enfants ont imaginé des personnages avec ses arbres et ont fait fonctionner leur imagination à plein régime. Une chouette visite.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés devant ce barre fermé à ce moment là, mais ce qui nous a fait stopper, c'est l'alignement de statues faites en bois, en racines et représentant des animaux, des personnages. C'est totalement insolite !! Attention car les statues sont en bord de route et la circulation y est très dense. C'est à voir !

Called in to have a coffee to find there was a meeting taking place. The owner couldn't have been nicer. He put out a table for me and one of the people running the meeting gave me a free piece of cake Merci beaucoup!
