<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Le Restaurant L\u2019Ancienne \u00c9cole is located in a former village school built in 1868, in the heart of Palau-del-Vidre. For over a century, this building hosted generations of pupils before being completely renovated and transformed into a restaurant in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, Baptiste and \u00c9milie Gaillard took over the establishment with the desire to preserve the soul of the place while developing a seasonal cuisine made from fresh and predominantly local produce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over 25 years, they have welcomed their clients in a warm atmosphere where authenticity, conviviality, and a passion for gastronomy meet. Even today, the story continues to be written every day with the same goal: to share sincere cuisine in a place steeped in history and deeply rooted in the heritage of Palau-del-Vidre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
