 Filets of perch, féra, gudgeon or pike: what you find on your plate depends chiefly on the day's catch, as « Fifi », the owner of Les Cygnes, who is also a professional fisherman, likes to say. The preparation is overseen by his wife, Georgette. A family business that began at the end of the 1930's, when his grandfather Jules, supported by his wife Louisa, decided to transform his little fisherman's hut into a restaurant. As time went by, the little shack on the edge of the lake became bigger and today there are a few rooms upstairs. And if the idea of going fishing appeals to you, don't hesitate to ask Fifi, who will be pleased to take you along with him. In summer, don't miss sitting on the pretty terrace, your feet cooling in the water; and if you come by boat, you can even dock at the restaurant's private quay.
