Reviews
La Ville Josse has received 1 reviews in the last 4 years with a:
roskam from barchem,
Een groot antiek familie huis. Met grote slaapkamers. En een prima keuken. Het huis is oud en daar hoort bij zo hier en daar wat spinnen en mieren. En een beetje muffe lucht. Maar als de zon schijnt is dit zo weer weg. De omgeving is prachtig. Genoeg strandjes om te bezoeken. En fijne restaurants om te eten. Ook is de supermarkt dichtbij met de auto.
Restaurants, food & wine
With its extensive coastline, seafood is one of Brittany's specialities. From shellfish, to lobster, clams, whelks, scallops, mussels and oysters. Oysters are classified, like cheeses and wines, with their own AOC (Controlled Origin Name). Seafood will feature on most menus which often combine fish with the region's other culinary specialities, such as Sauce à la Crème or au Camembert. The moules (mussel) beds in the coastal bays of Brittany, provide the local restaurants with fresh produce to be enjoyed: Moules et Frites is a must for fish lovers and are available widely, served in a variety of delicious sauces.
The Brittany cheese board is varied and delicious. Cheese in France is usually served between the main course and dessert.
The abundance of apples which flavour both savoury and sweet dishes also means that Brittany boasts a wide range of other apple bi-products, most notably cider, and tarte au pomme. There will be many opportunities to sit in a restaurant or café, enjoying a beautiful view while sampling the Breton cuisine of buckwheat pancakes, accompanied by a bowl of cider
