Le Grand Sultan, Verneuil-sur-Avre, France P274
 
Highest Rating in the Area
 
About 90 miles west of Paris on the Avre river dwells Verneuil.  What seems to be a small farming community, is, in fact, a bit of a retreat in lower Normandy for Parisians desiring a "country home".  Verneuil's "centre ville" displays nothing except for "bar-brasserie" type eating establishments with the lone exception being Le Grand Sultan. 

What a wonderful place!  It was a bit cold and rainy the night we were there, but the fireplace with 4' oak logs was warm and VERY welcoming. 

The food:  Just GREAT! 

I had Salmon, my wife coq au boujoulais...both were excellent. 

Not a word of English was apparently spoken by Monsieur and Madame Cluzeau, but they were exceptionally friendly and charming. 

Definitely worth a trip out of Paris and quite easy to find...just under the church tower in the centre ville of Verneuil.
