I can't even tell you what we had- pâtés, terrines, sliced meats, cheeses, cold casseroles... my goodness. We spent well over $50 in preparation for an hour long train ride "picnic". It was so, so worth it. The ladies who run the shop are quite friendly and at least a couple of them speak English. But if all else fails, pointing works. Not to be missed! Seriously...

The owner of the cheese shop was super enthusiastic about how he had just started the business seven months ago and how he was doing well.
