After the first bar is the banqueting and dance hall with bar number two and open stage going into the newly refurbished stylish restaurant.
Our menu is both French and English offering a variety of cuisine from prawn cocktail or large gambas to escalope de foie gras poelee avec poire and magret de canard to filet steak and chips. Locally we have a good reputation for food, especially our fish in beer batter and chips as we have installed a professional frying system for fish.
Our menu du jour is a starter, main course and desert inc wine for 12.50€.

A new contact group has being formed in the Haute Vienne town of St Yrieix La Perche
The group is the brain child of Dutch couple Frans and Toke Verschuren, who, when thy moved to the town nearly 18 months ago, struggled at first to find much of the information they needed to establish them in their new life.
The aim is to set up an International English speaking group helping newcomers
and established people in the town of St Yrieix and its surrounding villages.
Apart from the British, it is hoped that local French and Dutch people will be joining too, enabling everyone to benefit from an exchange of language and culture.
The general monthly "meetings" will initially take the form of a casual drop in for coffee and a chat and will be driven by "user demand".
From this a range of activities will be developed to cater for the varying and individual interests of the group.
Connect for Friendship (Connectff)
Association
Owing to its increasing popularity and ever increasing
attendance, the Connect for friendship association (Connectff) has now
affiliated with Familles Rurales within the local area and will therefore now
meet at a new venue.
The meetings will still be held on the first Friday
of each month starting at 10 am and continuing on until noon.
The new venue is:
- Famille Rurales, 60 Place de la Nation, St Yrieix La Perche.
This is the ground floor
area of the building where the French lessons are held with Mme. Bernadette.
The building is opposite the North end of the tree lined car parking area at
the Place de la Nation.
Parking will now be a lot easier and the new hall
should have much kinder acoustics which will promote even more discussion
between attendees.
Tea, Coffee and biscuits will still be available.
We hope that you can spare the time to come along and
visit us and enjoy meeting like minded people who have settled in the area.
The key word is "Friendship"
and everyone's welcome to pop in for a coffee and a chat.
The next meetings will be
NB ~ All these meetings start at 10 am and finish at midday.
For further information call Frans (Dutch and English spoken)
05 55 75 48 76
or
get in touch by E-mail connectff87@yahoo.com
A Book Club has been formed by Connect FF

Vernon Goddard 05 55 09 94 90

usual venue at the hotel.
