Saint Genis Pouilly, France
Le Coq Rouge
Le Coq Rouge occupies a central spot on Place de la Fontaine in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, a small French commune immediately west of Geneva that sits in the productive gap between the Jura foothills and the Swiss border. The address puts it squarely in Ain department, where the surrounding agricultural land has long supplied serious French tables with poultry, dairy, and produce. It is a neighbourhood address in a town most travellers pass without stopping — which is precisely what makes it worth examining.
