A stopover in a roadside restaurant for Michel Weill on the way to Paris.
To reach the capital, the Montbetonnais will take neither the TGV nor the plane. “He prefers to go there by car because he absolutely wants to stop at the famous roadside restaurant in Châteauroux (Editor’s note: this is the Escale village, in Déols). He kept very good memories of it when he had his business, ”says a close friend of President Weill.
