Le Quai des Haltes – Coffee/tea lounge and local produce shop

A gourmet stop with a focus on local produce!
We offer local or organic drinks, local ice creams, home-made seasonal pastries and savoury snacks. And, by reservation: picnics, breakfasts, brunches...

"Le Quai des Haltes" is located at the old Chalencon station, on the edge of the "Dolce Via" (cycleway in the Eyrieux Valley), in a much-appreciated natural environment. It's a starting point for many walks and cycle rides, and an ideal place to stop off for a gourmet or recreational break.

In the restored former railway station, which has retained all its authenticity, a number of relaxation areas come to life as the seasons go by: a shaded terrace, a sunny garden, a passenger waiting room...

You can also book your "picnic drive", your "picnic at the table", your breakfast (served in the small rooms of the old station from 8am), your "group meals"... Made-to-measure is also one of our specialities! Just give us a call!

Our customers recommend :
- The chef's chestnut/hazelnut moelleux, to be enjoyed all season long (when there's some left!)
- The "Dolce Via Brunch" served every Sunday in low season (April, June, September and October), by reservation (3 courses: at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.15pm).

On site, a number of games are available for you to enjoy during your stay: large wooden games, air hockey table, Mölkky, Breton shuffleboard, petanque boules, card games, board games...

Good to know:
- On site: terroir snack where you can nibble on "local food on the go":
- Reservations highly recommended, whatever the season, for breakfast, lunch, a "picnic drive", a "picnic at the table", a "Dolce Via Brunch"...
- Please note: every Sunday in low season (April, June, September and October), only the "Dolce Via Brunch" is served, by reservation (3 courses: at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.15pm).
- Breakfast by reservation (served in the small rooms of the old station from 8am),
- The small rooms of the old station can be reserved for groups and families (12 to 14 people).

Here, everything exudes conviviality: carefully selected local produce, a shady, sunny terrace sheltered from the noise, a garden where time stands still, and the old little station where you can share a game of cards or a board game... This is a place where simplicity rhymes with serenity and generosity!
