Il m’arrive parfois de m’arrêter pour prendre un petit-déjeuné lorsque je suis à la bourre et c’est toujours un plaisir ! Prix raisonnables pour une qualité top et personnel vraiment sympathique même à 7h du matin quand on veut juste dormir

A lovely café inside the train station! The staff are really nice, and the vibe is great. It's a perfect place to kill some time while waiting for your train. I love how some elders sit here reading newspapers and just enjoying the day. It makes the place feel cozy and peaceful. Maybe I'm a bit old at heart, but I truly love the atmosphere here!
