Faits mains en France – Les démarches écologiques
Les petites démarches écologiques – faits main
Nous souhaitons nous engager et mettre en place des démarches écologiques lorsque cela est possible. Vous aussi ? Nos paniers à pain au restaurant ou les « étuis à vin » à la boutiques sont de bons exemples de petits gestes écologiques. Ils sont faits mains en France à partir de tissus recyclés.
Décorations un peu différentes – Zéro Waste
Pour les Fêtes, nous avons fait le choix écologique avec des décorations faites main. Les cœurs et les étoiles sont faits de tissus recyclés et garnis de petites chutes de tissus qui ne servent normalement pas et sont jetées à la poubelle. C’est génial ! Les lutins sont également faits main en France à partir de tissus recyclés. Seul le fil à coudre est neuf ! Les lutins sont eux aussi garnis de petites chutes, ce qui fait qu’ils sont lourds !! Avez-vous essayé ?
Nous mettons en avant les petites démarches écologiques ! Et en utilisant des décorations faites de tissus normalement classés comme « inutilisable » ou « poubelle » nous mettons en avant l’économie circulaire .

Hand Made in France
Small ecological choices
We like to make ecological choices when possible and we believe that all the small things count. Do you believe so too? Our bread baskets in the restaurant and the gift bags for wine are perfect examples of these small choices. They are all hand made in France from recycled fabrics. We love to take care of the environment around us! With many small changes we can have larger effects !
A bit different decoration – Zero Waste
For the end of the year celebrations we have made ecological choice and used hand made decorations. These decorations are also zero waste products, perfect for anyone who wants to take care of the nature! They are made with care so we can use them year after year! The hearts and stars are made of recycled fabrics and filled with the small pieces of leftover fabrics. Normally these small pieces can’t be used for anything else and they end up to trash. Every heart and every star means less trash lying around!
Also the small elfs are hand made in France with recycled materials. Only the sewing thread is new! As the starts and hearts, also the elfs are filled with small pieces of leftover fabric, making them very heavy for their size! We think you could even use them as door stoppers! Have you tried yet how heavy they are?
By using decorations made out of fabrics which normally would be seen as unusable or trash, we want to promote circular economy. Are you ready to change your habits for our planet end the environment around us? We know we are, even though it’s not always easy !
Brûlot Charentais
Brûlot Charentais
La tradition de Brûlot Charentaise, l’association unique des arômes de café et de Cognac!
Il étais une fois…le Brûlot Charentais
Il étais une fois en Charente, comme ailleurs en France, une habitude ancestrale de boire une boisson chaude le soir. Chaque région avait sa ou ses spécialités. A l’époque le café était un produit de luxe donc réservé pour les fêtes et les grandes occasions.
Café froid
A fin d’éviter le gaspillage de café, un Charentais eu l’idée de réchauffer son café avec de l’eau-de-vie. De l’association unique des arômes de café et de Cognac dans une boisson presque sans alcool, est né le Brûlot Charentais. La tradition à au moins trois siècles.
La tradition continue
Au Restaurant Cave La Quincaillerie nous souhaitons entretenir et promouvoir cette tradition. Nous avons des services à brûlot faits mains par « Au Grès de Sophie« , à Rouffignac, et le Cognac Spécial Brulot du G.A.E.C Les Barbins à Orignolles. Où l’on distille encore et toujours, dans des alambics centenaires au feu de bois.

Once Upon a time..Brûlot Charentais
Once upon a time in Charente, like everywhere in France, there was a habit to drink something warm in the evening. Every region had its own specialitiy. At the time coffee wasn’t a drink for everyday, it was seen as a luxury product that was meant only for important occasions.
Cold Coffee
Someone in Charente got an idea how to use cold coffee left over. The idea to combine the cold coffee with burning cognac created an aromatic drink with hardly no alcohol left. This tradition of Brûlot Charentais dates back at least three centuries.
The Tradition Continues
We, at Restaurant Cave La Quincaillerie want to keep and promote this tradition. We have bought special Brûlot Charentais -sets from a local pottery maker « Au Grès de Sophie« , located in Rouffignac and the Special Cognac Brulot « Les Barbins » comes from G.A.E.C Les Barbins in Orignolles -where the cognac is still distilled the traditional way, in their century-old wood-fired stills!

Castle of Montendre – Château de Montendre
Castle of Montendre
Close to the Restaurant Cave La Quincaillerie there is the castle of Montendre – or what’s left of it. It’s a nice and cosy walk (depends on the weather of course..) and partly accessible to everyone. There are some stairs, but you can see most of the site without climbing them.
The castle is situated 114 meters over the sea level, and from here you’ll have wonderful view over the city and its surroundings. For the orientation and curiosity, there are signs pointing for example to London in UK, Sulz am Neckar in Germany and Onda in Spain.
History of the castle
The first known fortress here was of wood and it was built in the ninth century. In the 12th century the fortress was rebuilt in stone, with solid walls, four circular towers and a square tower.
In 1453, after the battle of Castillion and capture of Bordeaux, the castle was in such a state that alterations were necessary. The square tower was rebuilt and the walls were raised again.
(Read more about the castle and its history in Wikipedia and on the website of the city of Montendre -both in French though.)
In the beginning of 20th century the castle was private property, although some parts were left for open access. Already by then it was possible to take a walk in these beautiful surroundings.
When the owner died in 1953, she left the castle to the municipality. The development of the site continued, the square tower became museum to local traditions and arts, and the open air theater was constructed in 1959.
The ruins which today are serving as decoration for the theater, were once home of the La Rochefoucauld. The house was built in 1773 and it was still standing at the site in the beginning of the 20th century.
Calm and relaxing walk around the castle of Montendre
Even though if the museum isn’t open, there is plenty to see. You can enter the site and take the stairs up to the theater for even better view over the surroundings. Or you can just walk around the castle and enjoy the park and nature around you. These photos were taken at the end of October and we had the whole site to ourselves. No crowds! After a walk you can enjoy the local gastronomy at Restaurant Cave La Quincaillerie. Current menus are always available on our website.
