This rather unassuming place consists of an auberge with a bar/restaurant. The bar is a popular local hangout in the village of Le Bic, our home town for half the year. In summer, tourists are also part of the mix, but in the middle of winter, not so much. So, when Lisa and I dropped in at Le Vieux Bicois (means old Bic) on a Friday evening in late January, we were a bit of a curiosity. The bartender, who speaks much better English than we speak French, was quite chatty. She even let on that she recognized us from summer - as she put it, we're the ones with the big dog. Yes, Woody, our golden retriever, at 80 pounds, is pretty big!
In the photos below, note how big the bottles of beer are.... and that the price in the evening/night (soir) is a bit higher than in the day (jour). This struck me as odd, but maybe it's more common than I'm aware of??? They also sell wine, but nearly everyone was drinking beer. It's a fun place to have a drink and hang out with the locals.
