Great places now gone - The Vintage Bike Cafe, Ales, France

I am posting this one, because it seemed just too good to let it slip into obscurity. Who knows? One day, somebody else may be inspired to open another place such as this!



I knew about this place and decided to go visit one day, however now that I go to look it up, it seems that I am about 3 years too late.



It is a shame that it has closed. For me, this would have been just the perfect place to roll up on Kevin, stop and have lunch, just hang out.



I knicked several photos to share. Gone but not forgotten.



Does anyone here know of a similar place near where you live? (any county or country!)


















"Two pints of beer and a pint of Castrol for the Enfield, please mate!"



























If only I had known before, or could turn back the clock...





Looking a bit neglected, this place had now sadly gone.


There are a couple of web pages on it below.

Perhaps that was a bit too much of a niche market for the locals, or perhaps they didn't like tattooed ladies! A.
