Puy-l’Évêque: Two Englishmen open a bar restaurant in La Cale, a “living space like consumption”

Since this summer, two Londoners have set up a community bar restaurant called La Gale on the shores of Latin. One of them, Drew Lewis, welcomed us to his bar. His knowledge of French is based on the fact that his employee, Danny Boganhegan, an American who lived in Lot for six years, worked as a translator.

To protect the environment, on the first Sunday of each month we serve coffee to everyone who agrees to clean up the city using garbage bags. Another program is in the pipeline: yoga and painting classes. In short, living space like consumption.
