Essoyes has the a museum called "L'Espace Renoir" which celebrates his relationship with the village and the fact that he had a studio there for many years. Which is not surprising as it is a very pretty village in a Champagne growing region in southern Champagne. And happily, if one is tired of regional French cuisine, or is recovering from the taste of andouillettes, the pizzas here will eradicate the horror of them completely. They are in fact, pretty good pizzas serves on a terrace over-looking the local Church and are a two minute stroll to the very pretty river Ource which runs through the village.They have passable wines, cold beer and pizza. They can even serve the local Champagne. A pizza lunch with Champagne in a village that was OK for Renoir is not bad at all - especially when it will set you back less than rock hard "sandwich au paté" and a glass of vinegar in Paris.
