La Charite Sur Loire, France
La Poule Noire
La Poule Noire occupies a quiet address on the Place des Pêcheurs in La Charité-sur-Loire, a Loire Valley town more often associated with its Romanesque priory than its restaurant scene. In a region where market-driven kitchens draw from some of France's most productive agricultural land, the restaurant sits at the intersection of provincial tradition and serious sourcing. For travellers passing through Burgundy's western edge, it merits a deliberate stop rather than an afterthought.
