La Buissonniere, Vernon, France P279
 
Normally, when you leave Paris and venture into the French countryside, you find excellent food, friendly service and VERY low prices.  Unfortunately, La Buissonniere is the exception to all of this. 

La Buissonniere is located on the left of the main road from Paris to Vernon...out towards Monet's Giverny...just a bit before you get into town. 

We arrived near closing time for lunch, 2:30 pm and were greeted with a rather unfriendly demeanor which said:  "We're about ready to close, but we'll take your money anyway." 

The food was unexceptional...the "plate du jour" was tough steak and because the salad bar was depleted, we elected to just have the steak a la carte...no matter.  We were charged the full price for the meal. 

Well...there are exceptions to everything, I guess.  Most of the time, traveling the French countryside is a good experience.  La Buissonniere was not.
