Transcontinental Race No. 8 - TCR8 - #TCRN08 - 2020

It is. But not for foreign types.

I've had so many weird experiences with french restaurants over the years thinking about it now. Suddenly the restaurant closes as the owner seems irritated, decides they don't sell food anymore, it's 13:01. Weird.

I'm sure most of them aren't there to sell food. Maybe they're a front for a huge money laundering scheme or something.

The best ones are the weird little ones in the middle of nowhere, serving alcohol to farmers at 10 in the morning.

10am? Late start. I stopped for breakfast early one morning driving across France, was obviously looking a bit in need of a pick-me-up as a local sent me a glass of red wine over. It was 6am.

It can be really odd, some places I've been to don't serve food at all and the owner will make me something in their own kitchen. Other places have the all day service sign outside then tell you to do one if you ask for food.
