Set in the old town, the Bistrot des Clercs is a place, which is typical of Valence. Surrounded by varnished woodwork and tall windows shaded by “bonne femme” curtains, it receives crowds of lovers of generous good cooking in a cordial atmosphere. Laetitia and her young team crowd round the tables beneath a row of lighted globes.
The Bistrot is in the great tradition of the town’s brasseries. It exudes good appetite and good humour. During the beautiful time of the year the tables are moved to the platform in front of the Bonaparte fountain. In fact, a very young lieutenant lived here, a future emperor, who discovered the Valence of both the philosophers and of the girls.

On the table in front of a nice glass of wine and a peppermill, one lets oneself appreciate the magic of the old brasseries.
The smiling plate offers nothing more or less than the robust cooking of a brasserie, at once elegant, hearty and fit for gourmets.
