Normandie

Open since 1981, Taverne Normandie is one of the Village’s enduring fixtures—less a trend than a constant. The vaulted, old-school tavern interior sets the tone inside, while the sprawling terrace has made it a summer magnet for decades, drawing locals, tourists, and the occasional performer fresh off a nearby stage. Karaoke is the main event here, running most nights and encouraging participation with a crowd that’s generous, loud, and rarely judgmental. The bar leans classic and plentiful, with a deep back shelf that lets bartenders improvise without overthinking it, and drink prices that keep rounds coming. Normandie’s appeal isn’t about polish or reinvention; it’s about volume, familiarity, and shared spectacle. Grab a pitcher, take the mic, and understand quickly why this place has lasted.
