La Cascade

Along the River Sèvre, shortly before arriving in Clisson, this hotel–bar–restaurant–snack bar epitomises life’s simple pleasures. In the luminous dining room — tastefully decorated with sweeping curtains, graphic wallpaper, and mismatched furniture and lamps — or on the lush little terrace with its rustic charm, discover a cheerful and friendly atmosphere that’s as festive as the fresh and elegant cuisine, which playfully mixes textures with a subtle marriage of delicate spices and peppers. There is also, of course, a lovely selection of local organic wines.
