Discover our underground world in the heart of the Pays de Loire region and discover the original flavours of a foues meal in a majestic setting.

Fouées, also called “fouaces”, these small bread rolls are eaten filled with butter, rillettes, mogettes, cheese or other.

Our Troglodyte Fouées restaurant is a wonderful place to discover. A few million years ago, the sea withdrew from the Doué-la-Fontaine region. Shell rock, called “FALUN”, was extracted from the subsoil to build houses. The troglodyte was born and left behind magnificent underground cathedrals.

Our rooms, over 12 metres high and carved into the rock, will amaze you.

Opening hours:
Tuesday to Saturday
12:00 - 15:30 / 19:00 - 22:30.
Sunday
12:00 - 15:30.

Dining in a unique location at democratic prices is highly recommended.
