Title: La Taverne - McDonalds rumours
Post by: Grand_Fromage on October 04, 2012, 11:23:22 am
After the fire damage to the restaurant (popular with LM regulars) "la Taverne" in the Place des Jacobins, there is a rumour that it will be occupied by McDonalds... tragedy!

Anyone know if there is substance to the story?

It used to be one of my favourite restaurants when I did a bit work now and again in the Centre Jacobins next door back in the 90's. Would be a tragedy if its true.

This is the latest report from my Le Mans correspondent:

Hi Dean,

alright, so you can relax! This is just a rumour!!
Indeed, the Taverne got into a big fire and is closed for about 3 to 4 months. But the director denied in the newspaper today the fact that Mc Donalds tried to buy the restaurant!
The Taverne will stay the Taverne! You'll find them all new when you're in Le Mans next june.

Brad, your idea of a balanced meal is a Big Mac in each hand!

That, or half a pound of dark chocolate in a chilli con carne... :vomit:
