    • L'escale is Martrou's dining bar set up in the old post house called "Auberge de la Malle-Poste" in Échillais, a stone's throw from the Pont du Transbordeur opposite Rochefort.

      A true haven of peace on the banks of the Charente, this beautifully restored 18 th century building welcomes you on the terrace or in its warm rooms to recharge your batteries with friends, family or alone, whether you pass by on foot, by bike or by car.


      L'escale offers drinks and seasonal snacks made from fresh, local produce (cheese, cold meats and vegetarian platters, seasonal dishes, sweet and savory waffles, homemade desserts).

      Cultural and thematic events are scheduled throughout the year (exhibitions, concerts, games, etc.).

      The place can be privatized for business meals, family events (birthdays, retirements, passing exams, etc.), with the possibility of musical accompaniment.

    Pleasant lunch, small dining room but not bothered by the noise. Starter/main or main/dessert for €16. Baked egg and spinach tartiflette. A restaurant that simply does the job.
