We love publishing your reviews. They’re honest (mostly!) objective, (hopefully) unrelated to advertising (bien sûr!) and cover a wide range of tastes, prices, and places. You might not always agree, the chef might be having a bad day, your standards might be higher….or lower – but they give you an idea of what’s available.

Each year, as springtime arrives, the associations of Saint Cyprien throw open their doors and invite you to join them for 4 weeks of free sporting, cultural and charity activities.
