Christine’s guidebook to Les Cerisiers
Sightseeing
A beautiful small town in the mountains. Go up past Cauterêts and visit Pont D'Espagne. You pay 7 euros for parking then walk or take the cable car up. Again you pay. It really is worth the contribution for this beautifully kept place. There are a couple of wonderful restaurants, one near the top of the cable car and one further up at the Lac de Gaube. In summer it can be busy so get up early and enjoy the cooler air for your climb.

A great day out with a walk to Europe's highest waterfall. Restaurant half way. You can stay along the bottom path, which offers spectacular views in itself, or take a path from the start that takes you up higher - you need to be fit for that one!
In summer, there can be theatre showings. Check availability.

Food scene
Eat at L'Epicurien in the evenings or at Bar Le Familia at lunchtimes. Typically midday and 8pm for mealtimes.
Lunchtime menus are a lot cheaper than the evening meal.
If you have allergies or intolerances, then the owner is happy to adjust for you.
It's not the cheapest meal out, but it's quality. If you have children, ask for a shared meal - they're happy to put out two plates for them to share a meal etc. Just ask.
