18 June 2026 | Food & Drinks

While the absolute tranquility of Le Boisdalon is perfect for unwinding, there are days when you might crave a more vibrant, casual atmosphere to pair with a good meal. You don’t have to venture far to find a lively local spot. Situated right in the center of our neighboring town of Chalais—just a few minutes’ drive from your peaceful room in Yviers—Le Flore offers a quintessential French brasserie experience, complete with a fantastic terrace and a welcoming buzz.

Choosing our Chambres d’Hôtes means you can effortlessly combine the quiet luxury of a countryside retreat with the lively energy of local village life. Our Bed & Breakfast serves as your restorative haven, while nearby establishments like Le Flore give you a genuine taste of how the Charente gathers and celebrates. Whether you are looking for a relaxed lunch in the sun or an entertaining dinner, this friendly cafe-concert is always a great choice.

Classic Brasserie Fare and Summer Concerts

Stepping into or taking a seat on the spacious terrace of Le Flore, you are instantly met with a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. It is a place where locals and travelers naturally mingle over a cold drink or a hearty meal.

The menu is everything you would want from a classic French brasserie. You can expect a wonderful variety of dishes ranging from traditional French cuisine and their popular moules-frites (mussels and fries) to fresh salads and vegetarian options. During the summer months, the brasserie truly comes alive, regularly hosting theme nights and live musical concerts that add a fantastic, festive flair to your evening.
