I remember the day when I first discovered « Les Fous de l’Ile ». I popped in there by chance. It was pouring rain outside and I was soaked, looking for a refuge. Once inside, it was like the scene from a film- very calm, with subdued light and people at the zinc bar speaking to the bartender over a glass of wine. An ideal scene from the past, when a true bistro was also a sanctuary, a second home where a regular patron could spill his guts to the bartender. Since that day I became loyal to this charming spot with its original decor, funny name and delicious, home made cuisine.
